migration/colo.c: Use event instead of semaphore

Browse Source 
If multiple packets miscompare in a short timeframe, the semaphore
value will be increased multiple times. This causes multiple
checkpoints even if one would be sufficient.

Fix this by using a event instead of a semaphore for triggering
checkpoints. Now, checkpoint requests will be ignored until the
checkpoint event is sent to colo-compare (which releases the
miscompared packets).

Benchmark results (iperf3):
Client-to-server tcp:
without patch: ~66 Mbit/s
with patch: ~61 Mbit/s
Server-to-client tcp:
without patch: ~702 Kbit/s
with patch: ~16 Mbit/s
