This is the only place we are going to recheckpoint now. Now the task
needs to have TIF_RESTORE_TM flag set, which will get into
restore_tm_state() and execute the recheckpoint if MSR shows that the
transaction was active.

Every time a task is required to recheckpoint, or just have the TM SPRs
restore, the TIF_RESTORE_TM flag should be set and the task MSR should
properly be in a transactional state, which will be checked by
restore_tm_state().
