Re: [PATCH v2] loop: avoid EAGAIN, if offset or block size are changed

This patch tries to avoid EAGAIN due to nrpages!=0 that was originally trying to drop stale pages resulting in wrong data access. Report: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=938958#c38

FWIW, after applying this patch to 4.19.47, losetup is not failing any more for me.
