mem-cache: Use ReplaceableEntry in findBlockBySetAndWay

With a sector cache you can't find a block using only its set
and way, as there is the sector offset to take into account. As
all of these blocks inherit from ReplaceableEntry, the return
type of this function has been updated.

This function has also been declared closer to findBlock() due
to their similar functionality.
