kvs: call content.flush before checkpoint

Problem: When the KVS module is unloaded, a checkpoint of the root
reference is attempted.  However, a content.flush is not done
beforehand.  This could result in an invalid checkpoint reference
as data is not guaranteed to be flushed to the backing store.

Solution: Call content.flush before checkpointing.

Fixes #6237
