target/riscv: throw debug exception before page fault

In the RISC-V privileged ISA section 3.1.15 table 15, it is determined
that a debug exception that is triggered from a load/store has a higher
priority than a possible fault that this access might trigger.

This is not the case ATM as shown in [1]. Adding a breakpoint in an
address that deliberately will fault is causing a load page fault
instead of a debug exception. The reason is that we're throwing in the
page fault as soon as the fault occurs (end of riscv_cpu_tlb_fill(),
raise_mmu_exception()), not allowing the installed watchpoints to
trigger.

Call cpu_check_watchpoint() in the page fault path to search and execute
any watchpoints that might exist for the address, never returning back
to the fault path. If no watchpoints are found cpu_check_watchpoint()
will return and we'll fall-through the regular path to
raise_mmu_exception().
