cpu: Fix a bug in getCurrentInstCount in the checker CPU.

An earlier change accidentally left out the actualTC-> prefix in the
getCurrentInstCount method which was supposed to delegate the call to
another thread context. Without that, it just called itself and would
infinitely recurse.

This bug was pointed out in email by Robert Henry.
