loop: cleanup set_status interface
1) Anyone who has read access to loopdev has permission to call set_status
and may change important parameters such as lo_offset, lo_sizelimit and
so on, which contradicts to read access pattern and definitely equals
to write access pattern.
2) Add lo_offset over i_size check to prevent blkdev_size overflow.
##Testcase_bagin
#dd if=/dev/zero of=./file bs=1k count=1
#losetup /dev/loop0 ./file
/* userspace_application */
struct loop_info64 loinf;
fd = open("/dev/loop0", O_RDONLY);
ioctl(fd, LOOP_GET_STATUS64, &loinf);
/* Set offset to any value which is bigger than i_size, and sizelimit
* to nonzero value*/
loinf.lo_offset = 4096*1024;
loinf.lo_sizelimit = 1024;
ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_STATUS64, &loinf);
/* After this loop device will have size similar to 0x7fffffffffxxxx */
#blockdev --getsz /dev/loop0
