This change allows the loopback driver to handle block size larger than
PAGE_SIZE and increases the consistency of data types used within the driver.
Especially to match the struct queue_limits.logical_block_size type.

Also, this is to get rid of the LTP/ioctl_loop06 test failure:

  12 ioctl_loop06.c:76: TINFO: Using LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE with arg > PAGE_SIZE
  13 ioctl_loop06.c:59: TFAIL: Set block size succeed unexpectedly
  ...
  18 ioctl_loop06.c:76: TINFO: Using LOOP_CONFIGURE with block_size > PAGE_SIZE
  19 ioctl_loop06.c:59: TFAIL: Set block size succeed unexpectedly

Thoese fail due to the loop_reconfigure_limits() cast bsize to 'unsined short'
that never gets an expected error when testing invalid logical block size,
which was just exposed since 6.11-rc1 introduced patches:

  commit 9423c653fe61 ("loop: Don't bother validating blocksize")
  commit fe3d508ba95b ("block: Validate logical block size in blk_validate_limits()")

Maybe it's better to add a fixes tag for original commit which 
introduced unsigned short usage.

I'm not sure that makes sense because at that moment loop_set_block_size
has a dedicated function blk_validate_block_size to validate bsize, after your
commit 9423c653fe61 optimize that then the problem appears.
