For cache miss condition not in last_stage, we need to insert data into
cache. When this step succeed, current_data should be updated. While no
matter these checks pass or not, -1 is returned.

Based on this, the logic in cache miss handling could be simplified a
little.

No this change doesn't gain anything and I find the original easier to
read.

This function is really subtle, every time I do anything with it I have
to think really hard about it, so ease of reading is more important.

Yep, I agree ease of reading is more important.

Since the original version looks better, I will keep current code. :-)
