mem-ruby: prevent cacheProbe being called multiple times

The cacheProbe() function will return the victim entry, and it gets
called for multiple times in trigger function in a single miss. This
will cause a problem when we try to add a new replacement policy to
the Ruby system. Certain policy, like RRIP, will modify the block
information every time the getVictim() function gets called. To
prevent future problems, we need to store the victim entry, so that
we only call it once in one miss.
