cpu,sim-se: move error checks in syscall methods
There is a check on a global flag denoting that the simulator has been configured to run in fullsystem mode. The check is conducted at runtime during calls to syscall methods. The high-level models are checking the flag when the check could be conducted further down the call chain (nearer to the actual Process invocation). Moving the checks should result in less copy-pasta as new models are developed. It might be argued that the checks should stay in place since an error would detected earlier; that may be true, but the error would be the same and the simulation should fail in either case. This arrangement requires fewer lines of code. The changeset also changes the check into a fatal error instead of a panic since usage (in fs mode) should result in immediate corruption.
