cpu: Use the NotAnInst flag to avoid passing an inst to fetch faults.

When a fault happens in fetch in O3, a dummy inst is created to carry
the fault through the pipeline to commit, but conceptually there isn't
actually any instruction since we failed to fetch one.

This change marks the dummy instruction as NotAnInst, and when any
such instruction gets to commit, the fault object associated with it
is invoked and passed a null static inst pointer instead of a pointer
to the dummy inst.
