[PATCH 06/26] loop: also use the default block size from an underlying block device

Fix the code in loop_reconfigure_limits to pick a default block size for
O_DIRECT file descriptors to also work when the loop device sits on top
of a block device and not just on a regular file on a block device based
file system.
