Dmitry Monakhov 8268f5a741 deny partial write for loop dev fd
Partial write can be easily supported by LO_CRYPT_NONE mode, but it is not
easy in LO_CRYPT_CRYPTOAPI case, because of its block nature.  I don't know
who still used cryptoapi, but theoretically it is possible.  So let's leave
things as they are.  Loop device doesn't support partial write before
Nick's "write_begin/write_end" patch set, and let's it behave the same way
after.
