Fix a cache-invalidation bug for worker-based deployments (#5920)

Some of the caches on worker processes were not being correctly invalidated
when a room's state was changed in a way that did not affect the membership
list of the room.

We need to make sure we send out cache invalidations even when no memberships
are changing.
