Race Condition in LRU cache for references can lead to null references #1224

Description

@kafis

Describe the bug
The referenceResolver does occasionally resolve references to null.

The problem is, that the code, when resolving does first check which elements are already in the cache. It then fetches the "not yet in the cache" items and puts them there. This operation drops LRU items. Code still thinks that all items are in the cache and retrieves the references from the cache unchecked. Leading to null.

The symptom can be observed in SUPPORT-33245
