Richard Cooper 308fef6b46 mem-cache: Fix possible crash in base prefetcher (#871)
When processing memory Packets for prefetch, the `PrefetchInfo` class
constructor will attempt to copy the `Packet` data. In cases where the
`Packet` under consideration does not contain data, an assertion will be
triggered in the Packet's `getConstPtr` method, causing the simulation
to crash.

This problem was first exposed by Bug #580 when processing an
`UpgradeReq` memory packet.

This patch addresses the problem by suppressing the copying of the
`Packet` data during construction of a `PrefetchInfo` object in cases
where the `Packet` has no data.

This patch addresses Bug #580 [1], which was exposed by PR #564 [2],
subsequently reverted by PR #581 [3]
