Subject: [PATCH v2] loop: Fix missing discard support when using LOOP_CONFIGURE

Without calling loop_config_discard() the discard flag and parameters
aren't set/updated for the loop device and worst-case they could
indicate discard support when it isn't the case (ex: if the
LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl was used with a different file prior to
LOOP_CONFIGURE).

Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 5.8.x-
Fixes: 3448914e8cc5 ("loop: Add LOOP_CONFIGURE ioctl")
Signed-off-by: Kristian Klausen <kristian@...usen.dk>

v1 of the patch was tested like so (without the patch):
losetup 2.37<= uses LOOP_CONFIGURE instead of LOOP_SET_STATUS64[1]
