blockdev: Fix livelocks on loop device
bd_set_size() updates also block device's block size. This is somewhat
unexpected from its name and at this point, only blkdev_open() uses this
functionality. Furthermore, this can result in changing block size under
a filesystem mounted on a loop device which leads to livelocks inside
__getblk_gfp() like:
Sending NMI from CPU 0 to CPUs 1:

Trivial reproducer for the problem looks like:
truncate -s 1G /tmp/image
losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/image
mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 /dev/loop0
mount -t ext4 /dev/loop0 /mnt
losetup -c /dev/loop0
l /mnt
Fix the problem by moving initialization of a block device block size
into a separate function and call it when needed.
Thanks to Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> for help with
debugging the problem.
