losetup: use loop-control to explicitly ask for device
Now we use LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE ioctl to ask for free device, for example
losetup -f foo.img
Unfortunately, losetup(8) allows to ask for specified device
losetup /dev/loop100 foo.img
and in this case we assume that the device already exists in the
system. This is incorrect, we should be able to use loop-control
LOOP_CTL_ADD ioctl to ask for the specified device.
