MEM: Do not forward uncacheable to bus snoopers

Browse source 
This patch adds a guarding if-statement to avoid forwarding
uncacheable requests (or rather their corresponding request packets)
to bus snoopers. These packets should never have any effect on the
caches, and thus there is no need to forward them to the snoopers.
