Fix it so that the cache does not assume to gave the packet it sent out via sendTiming.

Still need to fix upgrades to use this path

src/mem/cache/base_cache.cc:
    Copy the pkt to the MSHR before issuing the sendTiming where it may be changed/consumed
src/mem/cache/cache_impl.hh:
    Use copy of packet, because sendTiming may have changed the pkt
    Also, delete the copy when the time comes
