Subject: [PATCH 43/89] tests: cleanup losetup usage

The unsafe_losetup_ function was failing because losetup didn't
recognize that the 'private' /dev/loopX devices were the same as
/dev/loopX, it would fail even if one was in use. Switch to using
losetup --show which is a cleaner solution.
Also use sparse file for loop_setup to save space.
* tests/t-lvm.sh (unsafe_losetup_): Remove function.
(loop_setup_): Use losetup's --show option instead.
Use dd with /dev/null, not /dev/zero.
* tests/t6001-psep.sh: Use loop_setup_ rather than losetup --show.
