cpu: Avoid duplicate entries in tracking structures for writes to misc regs

setMiscReg currently makes a new entry for each write to a misc reg without
checking for duplicates, this can cause a triggering of the assert if an
instruction get replayed and writes to the same misc regs multiple times.
This fix prevents duplicate entries and instead updates the value.
