Patch for resolving loop devices

Patch for resolving loop devices

I experienced an error where mkfs.btrfs failed when an unrelated
cryptoloop device was mounted.

$ sudo /tmp/btrfs-progs/mkfs.btrfs  /dev/mapper/mydisk

WARNING! - Btrfs v0.20-rc1-37-g91d9eec-dirty IS EXPERIMENTAL
WARNING! - see http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org before using

error checking /dev/mapper/mydisk mount status

$ sudo losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [0014]:71314 (/home/michael/loopfile), encryption aes (type 18)

I found that resolve_loop_device() method in utils.c was returning "aes"
as the associated file, instead of /home/michael/loopfile.  This
eventually causes the realpath() call in is_same_blk_file() to fail. The
attached patch fixes this problem.

Regards,
Michael McMaster
