loop: add ioctl to resize a loop device

Add the ability to 'resize' the loop device on the fly.

One practical application is a loop file with XFS filesystem, already
mounted: You can easily enlarge the file (append some bytes) and then call
ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_CAPACITY, new); The loop driver will learn about the
new size and you can use xfs_growfs later on, which will allow you to use
full capacity of the loop file without the need to unmount.

Test app:

#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <linux/loop.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <getopt.h>

char *me;

void usage(FILE *f)
{
	fprintf(f, "%s [options] loop_dev [backend_file]\n"
		"-s, --set new_size_in_bytes\n"
		"\twhen backend_file is given, "
		"it will be expanded too while keeping the original contents\n",
		me);
}

struct option opts[] = {
	{
		.name		= "set",
		.has_arg	= 1,
		.flag		= NULL,
		.val		= 's'
	},
	{
		.name		= "help",
		.has_arg	= 0,
		.flag		= NULL,
		.val		= 'h'
	}
};

void err_size(char *name, __u64 old)
{
	fprintf(stderr, "size must be larger than current %s (%llu)\n",
		name, old);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int fd, err, c, i, bfd;
	ssize_t ssz;
	size_t sz;
	__u64 old, new, append;

			break;

		case 'h':
			err = 0;
			out = stdout;

		default:
			perror(argv[i]);

		}
	}

	if (optind < argc)

	err = ioctl(fd, BLKGETSIZE64, &old);

		err = errno;
		perror("ioctl BLKGETSIZE64");
		goto out;
	}

	if (!new) {
		printf("%llu\n", old);
		goto out;
	}

	if (new < old) {
		err = EINVAL;
		err_size(dev, old);
		goto out;
	}

	if (optind < argc) {
		backend = argv[optind++];
		bfd = open(backend, O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
		if (bfd < 0) {
			err = errno;
			perror(backend);
			goto out;
		}
		err = fstat(bfd, &st);
		if (err) {
			err = errno;
			perror(backend);
			goto out;
		}
		if (new < st.st_size) {
			err = EINVAL;
			err_size(backend, st.st_size);
			goto out;
		}
		append = new - st.st_size;
		sz = sizeof(a);
		while (append > 0) {
			if (append < sz)
				sz = append;
			ssz = write(bfd, a, sz);
			if (ssz != sz) {
				err = errno;
				perror(backend);
				goto out;
			}
			append -= sz;
		}
		err = fsync(bfd);
		if (err) {
			err = errno;
			perror(backend);
			goto out;
		}
	}

	err = ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_CAPACITY, new);
	if (err) {
		err = errno;
		perror("ioctl LOOP_SET_CAPACITY");
	}
	goto out;

 err:
	usage(out);
 out:
	return err;
