loop: use kiocb helpers to fix lockdep warning
[ Upstream commit c4706c5058a7bd7d7c20f3b24a8f523ecad44e83 ]
The lockdep tool can report a circular lock dependency warning in the loop
driver's AIO read/write path:
```
[ 6540.587728] kworker/u96:5/72779 is trying to acquire lock:
[ 6540.593856] ff110001b5968440 (sb_writers#9){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: loop_process_work+0x11a/0xf70 [loop]
[ 6540.603786]
[ 6540.603786] but task is already holding lock:
[ 6540.610291] ff110001b5968440 (sb_writers#9){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: loop_process_work+0x11a/0xf70 [loop]
[ 6540.620210]
[ 6540.620210] other info that might help us debug this:
[ 6540.627499] Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[ 6540.627499]
[ 6540.634110] CPU0
[ 6540.636841] ----
[ 6540.639574] lock(sb_writers#9);
[ 6540.643281] lock(sb_writers#9);
[ 6540.646988]
[ 6540.646988] *** DEADLOCK ***
```
This patch fixes the issue by using the AIO-specific helpers
`kiocb_start_write()` and `kiocb_end_write()`. These functions are
designed to be used with a `kiocb` and manage write sequencing
correctly for asynchronous I/O without introducing the problematic
lock dependency.
The `kiocb` is already part of the `loop_cmd` struct, so this change
also simplifies the completion function `lo_rw_aio_do_completion()` by
using the `iocb` from the `cmd` struct directly, instead of retrieving
the loop device from the request queue.
Fixes: 39d86db34e41 ("loop: add file_start_write() and file_end_write()")
