[PATCH v2 0/2] libmount: preserve reused loop devices and request direct I/O

[Tianyi Chen <hi@tychen.cc>]

Hi Karel,

This revision addresses your review of PR #4646. The reused-device fix
is now separate from the direct-I/O option.

Changes in v2:
- Add a specific diagnostic for direct-I/O mode conflicts.
- Use ul_strtobool() and the test-suite cleanup helpers.
- Document buffered-I/O fallback and how to check the effective mode.
- Add the option comment header and reused-device debug message.
- Remove the AI attribution trailer as requested.

Built mount, umount, losetup and findmnt with Meson. As root in a private
mount namespace, loop-reuse, loop-direct-io, regfile and fstab-loop all
passed. The direct-I/O test also checks boolean aliases and the conflict
diagnostic.

Thanks,
Tianyi
