While deferred requests normally get revisited quite quickly,
it is possible for a request to remain in the deferral queue
when the cache item is discarded. We can easily make sure that
doesn't happen by calling cache_revisit_request just before
the final 'put'.
Also there is a small chance that a race would cause one thread to
defer a request against a cache item while another thread is failing
to queue an upcall for that item. So when the upcall fails, make
sure to revisit all deferred requests.
