Proposed fix is, indeed, correct.  I'll feed it to Linus.

No problem with me.  While we are at it, mount(8) detection of loop
is, er, odd:
        return (loopmajor && stat(device, &statbuf) == 0 &&
                S_ISBLK(statbuf.st_mode) &&
                (statbuf.st_rdev>>8) == loopmajor);
                                ^^^
Tsk, tsk...  Seriously, switching to major(statbuf.st_rdev) would probably
be a good idea.
