loop: Don't change loop device under exclusive opener
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.
[Deliberately chosen not to CC stable as a user with priviledges to
trigger this race has other means of taking the system down and this
has a potential of breaking some weird userspace setup]
Seems like it solves a race so I'll raise the issue to the commit
author.

Title:
Doing multiple squashfs (and other loop?) mounts in parallel breaks
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On a system running a 5.2 kernel, doing a large number of mounts of
squashfs filesystems in parallel results in the mounts getting out of
sync with their backing devices.
To reproduce,
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VCpzGxvy6h/
this breaks people with ~40 snaps (easily achievable given snapd
leaves up to 3 previous revisions of snaps mounted at any given time,
so a person with ~13 snaps that get updated often will hit this
number).
