The commit for this specific patch is bdac616db9bbadb9 ("loop: fix LOOP_GET_STATUS
lock imbalance"). But the root cause of these hung tasks would be fixed by a series
containing commit 1dded9acf6dc9a34 ("Avoid circular locking dependency between
loop_ctl_mutex and bd_mutex") or commit 04906b2f542c2362 ("blockdev: Fix livelocks
on loop device"). We were not aware of these bugs when you marked these reports as
duplicates on 2017/12/12. You can undup them and fix them if you want.
