URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/12292


   ## What is the purpose of the change
   
   If Unaligned checkpoints are enabled, channel state is written as state 
handles. Each channel has a handle and each such handle references the same 
underlying `streamStateHandle` (this is done to have a single file per subtask).
   But, if the state is less then `state.backend.fs.memory-threshold`, the data 
is sent directly to JM as a byteStreamHandle. This causes each channel state 
handle to hold the whole subtask state. 
   
   This PR solves this by extracting relevant potions of the underlying handles 
if they are `byteStreamHandle`s.
   
   Another approach would be to move the underlying state handle one level up 
(`OperatorSubtaskState`) and not store references to it in 
`channelStateHandles`. It would be more effective (less data duplication) but 
also more error-prone (implicit structure), less flexible (re-scaling), and 
require more changes.
