Steve Reinhardt 72cfed4164 Force prefetches to check cache and MSHRs immediately prior to issue.
This prevents redundant prefetches from being issued, solving the
occasional 'needsExclusive && !blk->isWritable()' assertion failure
in cache_impl.hh that several people have run into.
Eliminates "prefetch_cache_check_push" flag, neither setting of
which really solved the problem.
