mem-garnet: Separable allocator in Garnet not fair enough.

Currently there are independent round robin arbiter at each
input port and output port. Every time a VC is selected for
output allocation round robin is incremented irrespective of
if it is selected by its output port or not. This leads to
unfair arbitration at input port and is well known[1]. This
patch fixes it to increment only if the output port also
selects it.
