list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays
We currently use a compile-time constant to size the node array for the
list_lru structure. Due to this, we don't need to allocate any memory at
initialization time. But as a consequence, the structures that contain
embedded list_lru lists can become way too big (the superblock for
instance contains two of them).
This patch aims at ameliorating this situation by dynamically allocating
the node arrays with the firmware provided nr_node_ids.
