Cleaned up and simplified LRU cache implementation (#5579)

Summary:
The 'refs' field in LRUHandle now counts only external references, since anyway we already have the IN_CACHE flag. This simplifies reference accounting logic a bit. Also cleaned up few asserts code as well as the comments - to be more readable.
