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.

Fixed up by Jens to export lc_get_cumulative().
