The loopcxt_check_size() is workaround for kernels < v3.9, kernel has
been fixed by commit 541c742a7559eb65f0e36d3e2338c2ca532a3e61.
The function sets loopdev size according to backing file size. The
problem is that the backing file could be a block device where
stat.st_size is zero, so we have to use blkdev_get_size() for block
devices.

I recently tried to mount an hfsplus file system from an image file with
a partition table by using the loop offset and sizelimit options to specify
the location of the file system.
hfsplus stores some metadata at a set offset from the end of the partition,
so it's sensitive to the device size reported by the kernel.
It worked with this:
But failed with this:
/dev/loop0: [0089]:2 (<imagefile>), offset 32768, sizelimit 102400000
/dev/loop1: [0089]:2 (<imagefile>), offset 32768, sizelimit 102400000
/proc/partitions shows the correct number of blocks to match the sizelimit.
But if I set a breakpoint in mount before the mount syscall, I could see:
102400000
102432768
The kernel loop driver will set the gendisk capacity of the device at
LOOP_SET_STATUS64 but won't sync it to the block device until one of two
conditions are met: All open file descriptors referring to the device are
closed (and it will sync when re-opened) or if the LOOP_SET_CAPACITY ioctl
is called to sync it. Since mount opens the device and passes it directly
to the mount syscall after LOOP_SET_STATUS64 without closing and reopening
it, the sizelimit argument is effectively ignroed. The capacity needs to
be synced immediately for it to work as expected.
This patch adds the LOOP_SET_CAPACITY call to loopctx_setup_device since
the device isn't yet released to the user, so it's safe to sync the capacity
immediately.

- use uint64_t]

We use the code from include/ and lib/ on many places, so use public
domain if possible or LGPL for code copied from libs.

The current loopdev code prefers /sys to get information about
loop devices. The old methods like scan /dev are fallback solution
only. Unfortunately, the code does not check if /sys is mounted.

kernel cryptoloop is deprecated since ages and support for cryptoloop
in util-linux is incomplete/broken.
- no password hashing
- last 8 bit of key are always set to zero
- no binary keys possible (stops reading key at \n and \0)
In the past some Distros added the above features with patches. So
remove cryptoloop support from util-linux completely to make sure
people won't try using it.

Missing semicolon made test_loop_info() to return function
loopcxt_enable_debug() return value, which happen to be void. I
suspect the loopcxt_enable_debug() was usually not executed, while it
should be.

# ll ~/xxx2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 500 Jun 12 14:30 /root/xxx2
old version:
# losetup -a
new version:
# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [2052]:535312 (/root/xxx2)
The new version scans /sys/block/loopN, kernel >= 2.6.37 is required
otherwise fallback to the original not-so-smart /proc/partitions scan.

- improve loop_info usage (don't call ioctl more than once)
- add functions to get devno and inode of the backing file
- add function for compare any file with backing file by devno + inode
or by filename
