Description

### Bug description

Testing from a given checkpoint leads to logging the epoch number of the last checkpoint instead of the checkpoint specified:
```
trainer = Trainer(..., max_epochs=10)
lightning_module = MyLightningModule(...)
datamodule = MyDatamodule()

trainer.fit(lightning_module , datamodule=datamodule)

trainer.test(lightning_module , datamodule=datamodule, ckpt_path="last") # <-- ok: logs correct epoch and step
ckpt_path="/.../checkpoints/epoch=2-step=396.ckpt"
trainer.test(lightning_module , datamodule=datamodule, ckpt_path=ckpt_path) # <-- incorrect: logs last epoch and step
```

The second test logs epoch 10 instead of epoch 2. Similarly, the step number of the second test is incorrect.

### What version are you seeing the problem on?

v2.2.1

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on v2.2.1 using the Trainer, checkpoint, and datamodule example in the report, then trace checkpoint loading and epoch/step logging during trainer.test(). Done means an explicit checkpoint such as epoch=2-step=396.ckpt logs epoch 2 and step 396 rather than the final training values.
