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 and upcall for that item. So when the upcall fails, make sure to revisit all deferred requests.
