Subject: [PATCH] loop: Fix missing discard support when using LOOP_CONFIGURE

Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 5.8.x-
Fixes: 3448914e8cc5 ("loop: Add LOOP_CONFIGURE ioctl")

Tested like so (without the patch):
losetup 2.37<= uses LOOP_CONFIGURE instead of LOOP_SET_STATUS64[1]

# fallocate -l100M disk.img
# rmmod loop

With the patch applied:
