[PATCH] loop: fix setting arbitrarily large block size

From: Shreyansh Chouhan
Date: Tue Jun 22 2021 - 12:10:29 EST


loop_validate_block_size took an unsigned short argument. Passing an
argument with size greater than the size of unsigned short would cause
an overflow and could potentially render the upper bound check on the
block size useless, allowing to set an arbitrarily large block size.
