Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 06/13] mm: add lru_[un]lock_all APIs

Add heavy locking API's for the few cases that a thread needs exclusive
access to an LRU list.  This locks lru_lock as well as every lock in
lru_batch_locks.

This API will be used often at first, in scaffolding code, to ease the
transition from using lru_lock to the batch locking scheme.  Later it
will be rarely needed.
