[PATCH 08/10] loop: don't grab a reference to the block device

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2021-07-24 07:16:19
Also in: linux-btrfs
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

The whole device block device won't be removed while the disk is still
alive, so don't bother to grab a reference to it.
