mem: Store snoop filter lookup result to avoid second lookup

This patch introduces a private member storing the iterator from the
lookupRequest call, such that it can be re-used when the request
eventually finishes. The method previously called updateRequest is
renamed finishRequest to make it more clear that the two functions
must be called together.
