Currently, taking a checkpoint with a ruby cache involves moving all the dirty data in cache to memory. This is done by keeping **only** simulating the cache until all dirty data are flushed to the memory before taking the checkpoint. However, when the cache does not have dirty data, it is a problem if we keep simulating the cache. E.g., calling checkpoint caused the gem5 "empty event queue" assertion fault when running the ruby cache in atomic_noncaching mode. Since the mode bypasses the cache, all blocks are invalid and do not contain dirty data. Subsequently, there is no event placed to the event queue when we keep **only** simulating the cache before taking the checkpoint. This patch fixes this problem by checking if there is any actionable item when trying to move dirty data to memory. If there is no block contains dirty data, we simply choose not to continue simulating the cache before taking the checkpoint.
