mem-cache: Fix promoting of targets that need writable

There are cases where a request which does not need a writable copy
gets an response upgraded reponse and fills in a writable copy. When
this happens, we promote deferred MSHR targets that were deferred
because they needed a writable copy to service them immediately.

Previously, we would uncoditionally promote deferred targets. Since
the deferred targets might contain a cache invalidation operation, we
have to make sure that any targets following the cache invalidation is
not promoted.
