Please see http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location

location should be in a server or location context .So you cannot define it
outside of all the server context's.

One thing you can do is define a single location block for php and include
it in every server context which will save you the trouble of adding it
everytime.

But note that in real life you may need to change the fastcgi_pass to
different pools defined in php-fpm to separate php process based on user
etc.
