mem: Fix MSHR assert triggering for invalidated prefetches

Browse source 
This changeset updates an assert in src/mem/cache/mshr.cc which was
erroneously catching invalidated prefetch requests. These requests can
become invalidated if another component writes (an exclusive access)
to this location during the time that the read request is in
flight. The original assert made the assumption that these cases can
only occur for reads generated by the CPU, and hence
prefetcher-generated requests would sometimes trip the assert.
