Fixes a recent regression causing unwinds due to checkpoints having zero
root hash:
```
[WARN] [05-18|23:58:54.662] [bor] Root hash mismatch while whitelisting checkpoint expected=ac1c57270479250af3ce8eee90075cd8b2ba1bac55353105e063d9a4c87c743e got=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
