[PATCH 08/14] loop: remove the racy bd_inode->i_mapping->nrpages asserts

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

Nothing prevents a file system or userspace opener of the block device
from redirtying the page right afte sync_blockdev returned.  Fortunately
data in the page cache during a block device change is mostly harmless
anyway.
