mem: Add check for express snoop in packet destructor

Snoop packets share the request pointer with the originating
packets. We need to ensure that the snoop packet destruction does not
delete the request. Snoops are used for reads, invalidations,
HardPFReqs, Writebacks and CleansEvicts. Reads, invalidations, and
HardPFReqs need a response so their snoops do not delete the
request. For Writebacks and CleanEvicts we need to check explicitly
for whethere the current packet is an express snoop, in whcih case do
not delete the request.
