lru_cache: introduce lc_get_cumulative()
New helper to be able to consolidate more updates into a single transaction. Without this, we can only grab a single refcount on an updated element while preparing a transaction. lc_get_cumulative - like lc_get; also finds to-be-changed elements @lc: the lru cache to operate on @enr: the label to look up Unlike lc_get this also returns the element for @enr, if it is belonging to a pending transaction, so the return values are like for lc_get(), plus: pointer to an element already on the "to_be_changed" list. In this case, the cache was already marked %LC_DIRTY. Caller needs to make sure that the pending transaction is completed, before proceeding to actually use this element.
