mem-cache: Move reference count stats update to blk invalidation

The tags in the cache keep track of the number of references to the
blocks as well as the average number of references between an
insertion and the next invalidation. Previously the stats where
updated only on block insertion and invalidations were ignored. This
changes moves the update of the counters to the block invalidation
function.
