Loop module allows calling LOOP_SET_FD while there are other openers of
the loop device. Even exclusive ones. This can lead to weird
consequences such as kernel deadlocks like:
mount_bdev() lo_ioctl()
udf_fill_super()
udf_load_vrs()
sb_set_blocksize() - sets desired block size B
udf_tread()
sb_bread()
__bread_gfp(bdev, block, B)
loop_set_fd()
set_blocksize()
- now __getblk_slow() indefinitely loops because B != bdev
block size
Fix the problem by disallowing LOOP_SET_FD ioctl when there are
exclusive openers of a loop device.

trigger this race has other means of taking the system down and this
has a potential of breaking some weird userspace setup]
