list_lru: per-node list infrastructure

Now that we have an LRU list API, we can start to enhance the
implementation.  This splits the single LRU list into per-node lists and
locks to enhance scalability.  Items are placed on lists according to the
node the memory belongs to.  To make scanning the lists efficient, also
track whether the per-node lists have entries in them in a active
nodemask.

Note: We use a fixed-size array for the node LRU, this struct can be very
big if MAX_NUMNODES is big.  If this becomes a problem this is fixable by
turning this into a pointer and dynamically allocating this to
nr_node_ids.  This quantity is firwmare-provided, and still would provide
room for all nodes at the cost of a pointer lookup and an extra
allocation.  Because that allocation will most likely come from a may very
well fail.
