cpu: Clarify meaning of cachePorts variable in lsq_unit.hh of O3

cachePorts currently constrains the number of store packets written to the
D-Cache each cycle), but loads currently affect this variable. This leads
to unexpected congestion (e.g., setting cachePorts to a realistic 1 will
in fact allow a store to WB only if no loads have accessed the D-Cache
this cycle). In the absence of arbitration, this patch decouples how many
loads can be done per cycle from how many stores can be done per cycle.
