O3: Fix an issue with a load & branch instruction and mem dep squashing
Instructions that load an address and are control instructions can
execute down the wrong path if they were predicted correctly and then
instructions following them are squashed. If an instruction is a
memory and control op use the predicted address for the next PC instead
of just advancing the PC. Without this change NPC is used for the next
instruction, but predPC is used to verify that the branch was successful
so the wrong path is silently executed.
