Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] list: Support getting most recent element in list_lru

From: Rick Edgecombe <rick.p.edgecombe@...el.com>

In future patches, some functionality will use list_lru that also needs
to keep track of the most recently used element on a node. Since this
information is already contained within list_lru, add a function to get
it so that an additional list is not needed in the caller.

Do not support memcg aware list_lru's since it is not needed by the
intended caller.
