replay: fix recursive checkpoints

Record/replay uses checkpoints to synchronize the execution
of the threads and timers. Hardware events such as BH are
processed at the checkpoints too.
Event processing can cause refreshing the virtual timers
and calling the icount-related functions, that also use checkpoints.
This patch prevents recursive processing of such checkpoints,
because they have their own records in the log and should be
processed later.
