mbcache: Speed up cache entry creation

In order to prevent redundant entry creation by racing against itself,
mb_cache_entry_create scans through a large hash-list of all current
entries in order to see if another allocation for the requested new
entry has been made. Furthermore, it allocates memory for a new entry
before scanning through this hash-list, which results in that allocated
memory being discarded when the requested new entry is already present.
This happens more than half the time.

Speed up cache entry creation by keeping a small linked list of
requested new entries in progress, and scanning through that first
instead of the large hash-list. Additionally, don't bother allocating
memory for a new entry until it's known that the allocated memory will
be used.
