mem: Transition away from isSupplyExclusive for writebacks
This patch changes how writebacks communicate whether the line is
passed as modified or owned. Previously we relied on the
isSupplyExclusive mechanism, which was originally designed to avoid
unecessary snoops.
For normal cache requests we use the sharedAsserted mechanism to
determine if a block should be marked writeable or not, and with this
patch we transition the writebacks to also use this
mechanism. Conceptually this is cleaner and more consistent.
