mem-cache: Add lookup latency to access' whenReady
When dealing with writebacks, as soon as the packet metadata arrives
there will be a tag lookup, done sequentially because a write can't
be done in parallel. While the tag lookup is being done, the payload
will arrive. When both the payload are present and the tag is correct
block entry is determined the fill happens.
