mbcache: Avoid nesting of cache->c_list_lock under bit locks
Commit 307af6c87937 ("mbcache: automatically delete entries from cache on freeing") started nesting cache->c_list_lock under the bit locks protecting hash buckets of the mbcache hash table in mb_cache_entry_create(). This causes problems for real-time kernels because there spinlocks are sleeping locks while bitlocks stay atomic. Luckily the nesting is easy to avoid by holding entry reference until the entry is added to the LRU list. This makes sure we cannot race with entry deletion.
