mem-cache: Promote targets that don't require writable
Until now, all deferred targets of an MSHR would be promoted together
as soon as the targets were serviced. Due to the way we handle cache
clean operations we might need to promote only deferred targets that
don't require writable, leaving some targets as deferred. This change
adds support for this selective promotion.
