the item lock can only protect the hash list, but what about the LRU list?
As far as i know, if trying to delete a node from a doubly-linked-list, it
is necessary to lock at least 3 node: node, node->pre, node->next. I will
try to check if it may crash the LRU list in gdb next week .
And I think in do_item_get it is not necessary to delete the item that is
re-balanced, just leave it there and return NULL seems better.
