Subject: [PATCH V4] loop: Add sanity check for read/write_iter

Some file systems do not support read_iter/write_iter, such as selinuxfs
in this issue.
So before calling them, first confirm that the interface is supported and
then call it.

It is releavant in that vfs_iter_read/write have the check, and removal
of their used caused szybot to be able to hit this issue.

Fixes: f2fed441c69b ("loop: stop using vfs_iter__{read,write} for buffered I/O")
Reported-by: syzbot+6af973a3b8dfd2faefdc@...kaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=6af973a3b8dfd2faefdc

V1 -> V2: move check to loop_configure and loop_change_fd
V2 -> V3: using helper for this check
V3 -> V4: remove input parameters change and mode
