mem: Restructure whole-line writes to simplify write merging
This patch changes how we deal with whole-line writes their responses. With these changes, we use the MSHR tracking to determine if a whole-line is written, and on a fill we simply handle the invalidation response, with the actual writes taking place as part of satisfying the CPU-side hit.
