mem: Fix WriteLineReq fill behaviour
This patch fixes issues in the interactions between deferred snoops and WriteLineReq. More specifically, the patch addresses an issue where deferred snoops caused assertion failures when being serviced on the arrival of an InvalidateResp. The response packet was perceived to be invalidating, when actually it is not for the cache that sent out the original invalidation request.
