cpu: Change how O3 handles requests for SMT in full system.
Currently, when the numThreads parameter is set to something larger than
1 in full system mode, the O3 CPU will just silently change it back down
again to 1. This could be confusing to the user since it won't be
immediately apparent, even when looking at config.ini, that their config
isn't being respected.
This change moves that check into the CPU constructor, where CPU
behavior probably should be rather than the create() method which should
just build the object, and also turns it into an error.
