mem-cache: Promote deferred targets on cache clean responses

Browse Source 
While a cache clean operation is pending, all requests to the
corresponding block get deferred. When the response of a cache clean
operation is received, if the block is present and the response is not
invalidating, we can service all deferred targets that didn't require
writable. This change implements this functionality.
