Christoph Hellwig ecbe6bc000 block: use bd_prepare_to_claim directly in the loop driver
The arcane magic in bd_start_claiming is only needed to be able to claim
a block_device that hasn't been fully set up.  Switch the loop driver
that claims from the ioctl path with a fully set up struct block_device
to just use the much simpler bd_prepare_to_claim directly.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
