3.8.13.14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka at redhat.com>

commit ef7e7c82e02b602f29c2b87f42dcd6143a6777da upstream.

When the loop module is loaded, it creates 8 loop devices /dev/loop[0-7].
The devices have no request routine and thus, when they are used without
being assigned, a crash happens.

For example, these commands cause crash (assuming there are no used loop
devices):
