Antoine reminded me about a lock. In Python implementation it needed because linked list modifications are not atomic. In C implementation linked list modifications are atomic. However dict operations can call Python code and therefore they are not atomic. I don't know what bad things can happened with concurrent cache updating, however using lock will be safer and cheap enought.

Please add lock field to lru_cache_object and use it as in Python implementation. If no one can prove that a lock is not needed.
