mem: Add snoops for CleanEvicts and Writebacks in atomic mode

This patch mirrors the logic in timing mode which sends up snoops to
check for cached copies before sending CleanEvicts and Writebacks down
the memory hierarchy. In case there is a copy in a cache above,
discard CleanEvicts and set the BLOCK_CACHED flag in Writebacks so
that writebacks do not reset the cache residency bit in the snoop
filter below.
