Subject[PATCH 1/2] loop: guarantee lo->lo_device availability while fd is bound
loop_set_fd() recorded the attached bdev in lo->lo_device; however,
the fd may remain attached while the bdev is detached. This causes
several problems.

* lo->lo_device may end up pointing to already reclaimed bdev, so
loop_clr_fd() can't use it to clear bdev attributes when called from
lo_ioctl().

* As lo_open() doesn't fill in @bdev on open, if the bdev is reclaimed
and then recreated, the attributes set on the original bdev are
lost.

Fix it by making loop_set_fd() hold onto the bdev using bdgrab().
This allows loop_clr_fd() to rely on lo->lo_device to access the
attached bdev. Drop @bdev from loop_clr_fd() and always use
lo->lo_device. This guarantees that bdev attributes are cleared no
matter how the fd is detached.

Jens, these two patches fix a regression in loop introduced by block
change. Thanks.
