[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 1/4] lru_cache: use atomic operations when accessing lc->flags, always

["Christoph Böhmwalder" <christoph.boehmwalder@linbit.com>]

From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@linbit.com>

Or, depending on the way locking is implemented at the call sites,
some updates could be lost (has not been observed).
