---------------------------
cpu: remove conditional check (count > 0) on o3 IQ squashes

The o3 cpu instruction queue model uses the count variable to track the number
of unissued instructions in the queue. Previously, the squash method used
this variable to avoid executing the doSquash method when there were no
unissued instructions in the pipeline.  A corner case problem exists when
only issued instructions exist in the pipeline and a squash occurs; the
doSquash code is not invoked and subsequently does not clean up state properly.
