The current list_lru_walk_node implementation always walks the entire
list. In some cases, we can be sure that when an entry isn't freeable
that none of the rest of the entries on the list will be either.
Create a new LRU_SKIP_REST return value that not only indicates that
the current entry was skipped, but that caller should stop scanning
the current node.
