mem-cache: Allow clean operations when block allocation fails
Block allocation can fail when there is an in-service MSHR that
operates on the victim block. This can happed due to:
* an upgrade operation: a request that needs a writable copy of the
block finds a shared (non-writable) copy of the block in the cache
and has allocates an MSHR for the pending upgrade operation, or
* a clean operation: a clean request finds a dirty copy of the block
and allocates an MSHR for the pending clean operation.
This changes relaxes an assertion to allow for the 2nd case (cache
clean operations).
