checkpoint: fetch new device on rollbackbg/checkpoint-deleted-device

When a device belonging to a checkpoint is removed, we clear the
device pointer from the DeviceCheckpoint and move the object from the
devices list to the removed-devices list of the checkpoint.

Later, when restoring the connection we need to set again the device
pointer in DeviceCheckpoint; otherwise, any connection on that device
can't be reactivated if changed.

Fixes: 0e2f7ac7b5ea ('nm-checkpoint: drop reference to NM_DEVICE objects on removal signal')
