loopdev: move common code into loop_figure_size()

Update block device size in accord with gendisk size and let userspace
know the change in loop_figure_size(). This is a clean up to remove
common code of loop_figure_size()'s two callers.

loopdev: update block device size in loop_set_status()

Loop device driver sometimes fails to impose the size limit on the
device. Keep issuing following two commands:

losetup --offset 7517244416 --sizelimit 3224971264 /dev/loop0 backed_file
blockdev --getsize64 /dev/loop0

blockdev reports file size instead of sizelimit several out of 100 times.

The problems are:

- losetup set up the device in two ioctl:
LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64.

- LOOP_SET_STATUS64 only update size of gendisk.

Block device size will be updated lazily when device comes to use. If udev
rushes in between the two ioctl, it will bring in a block device whose
size is backing file size. If the device is not released after
LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl, blockdev will not see the updated size.

Update block size in LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl.

loopdev: fix a deadlock

bd_mutex and lo_ctl_mutex can be held in different order.

Path #1:

blkdev_open

__blkdev_get (hold bd_mutex)
lo_open (hold lo_ctl_mutex)

Path #2:

blkdev_ioctl
lo_ioctl (hold lo_ctl_mutex)
lo_set_capacity (hold bd_mutex)

Lockdep does not report it, because path #2 actually holds a subclass of
lo_ctl_mutex. This subclass seems creep into the code by mistake. The
patch author actually just mentioned it in the changelog, see commit
f028f3b2 ("loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()"), also see:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123806169129727&w=2

Path #2 hold bd_mutex to call bd_set_size(), I've protected it
with i_mutex in a previous patch, so drop bd_mutex at this site.

"Now that the core bits are in, here are the driver bits for 3.8. The
branch contains:

- A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
window. Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
situation on individual pulls can be improved.

- A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.

- Queue improvement for loop from Lukas. This grew into adding a
generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
also using it.

- A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.

- Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
to be used as an identifier."

loop: Limit the number of requests in the bio list

Currently there is not limitation of number of requests in the loop bio
list. This can lead into some nasty situations when the caller spawns
tons of bio requests taking huge amount of memory. This is even more
obvious with discard where blkdev_issue_discard() will submit all bios
for the range and wait for them to finish afterwards. On really big loop
devices and slow backing file system this can lead to OOM situation as
reported by Dave Chinner.

With this patch we will wait in loop_make_request() if the number of
bios in the loop bio list would exceed 'nr_congestion_on'.
We'll wake up the process as we process the bios form the list. Some
threshold hysteresis is in place to avoid high frequency oscillation.
