[PATCH] drivers/block/loop: Remove deprecated function, range check for max_loop

[Florian Knauf]

This patch removes the deprecated simple_strtol function from the option
parsing logic in the loopback device driver. It also introduces a range
check for the max_loop parameter to ensure that negative and out-of-range
values (that cannot be represented by int max_loop) are ignored.
