Hell no.
There is apparently no security checking here. No way can we allow this
for any random user that can open the loopback device read-only and then
just change its size.
It needs to use all the same security checks as "loop_set_status()" and
friends, afaik.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not going to apply it without
somebody explaining why this isn't a total piece of shit.
I also don't want to have copyright licenses in changelogs. If it's a test
app, anybody should be able to use it, no restrictions.
