loopdev: ignore negative offset when calculate loop device size
Negative offset may cause loop device size larger than backing file
size.
$ fallocate -l 1M a
$ losetup --offset 0xffffffffffff0000 /dev/loop0 a
$ blockdev --getsize64 /dev/loop0
1114112
$ ls -l a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1048576 Jan 23 12:46 a
$ cat /dev/loop0
cat: /dev/loop0: Input/output error
It makes no sense to do that. Only apply offset when it's positive.
Fix a typo in the comment by the way.
