---------------------------
cpu: rename the misleading inSyscall to noSquashFromTC

isSyscall was originally created because during handling of a syscall in SE
mode the threadcontext had to be updated. However, in many places this is used
in FS mode (e.g. fault handlers) and the name doesn't make much sense. The
boolean actually stops gem5 from squashing speculative and non-committed state
when a write to a threadcontext happens, so re-name the variable to something
more appropriate
