---------------------------
mem: Respond to InvalidateReq when the block is (pending) dirty

Previously when an InvalidateReq snooped a cache with a dirty block or
a pending modified MSHR, it would invalidate the block or set the
postInv flag. The cache would not send an InvalidateResp. though,
causing memory order violations. This patches changes this behavior,
making the cache with the dirty block or pending modified MSHR the
ordering point.
