mem: Replace check with panic where inhibited should not happen

This patch changes the SimpleTimingPort and RubyPort to panic on
inhibited requests as this should never happen in either of the
cases. The SimpleTimingPort is only used for the I/O devices PIO port
and the DMA devices config port and should thus never see an inhibited
request. Similarly, the SimpleTimingPort is also used for the
MessagePort in x86, and there should also not be any cases where the
port sees an inhibited request.
