Currently, loop device has only one global lock: loop_ctl_mutex.
This becomes hot in scenarios where many loop devices are used.
Scale it by introducing per-device lock: lo_mutex that protects
modifications of all fields in struct loop_device.
Keep loop_ctl_mutex to protect global data: loop_index_idr, loop_lookup,
loop_add.
The new lock ordering requirement is that loop_ctl_mutex must be taken
before lo_mutex.
