ruby: bug in functionalRead, revert recent changes

Recent changes to functionalRead() in the memory system was not correct.
The change allowed for returning data from the first message found in
the buffers of the memory system. This is not correct since it is possible
that a timing message has data from an older state of the block.

The changes are being reverted.
