loop: add some basic read-only sysfs attributes



Create /sys/block/loopX/loop directory and provide these attributes:
 - backing_file
 - autoclear
 - offset
 - sizelimit

This loop directory is present only if loop device is configured.

To be used in util-linux-ng (and possibly elsewhere like udev rules)
where code need to get loop attributes from kernel (and not store
duplicate info in userspace).

Moreover loop ioctls are not even able to provide full backing
file info because of buffer limits.
