losetup: use /sys/dev/block/.../loop/backing_file
The basic loopdev attributes are available in sysfs since kernel
2.6.37. This patch uses the backing_file attribute from sysfs for very
long filenames (the LOOP_GET_STATUS ioctl uses only 64 bytes for the
filename).
old version:
# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [0804]:12865322 (/home/images/filesystems/this_is_really_really_long_directory_*)
new version:
# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [0804]:12865322 (/home/images/filesystems/this_is_really_really_long_directory_name/ext2.img)
