When /dev/loop-control exists and *device is empty, the mounting fails
 due to concurrent contention.
Code Execution Flow:
        try = xasprintf(LOOP_FORMAT, i);
        for (i = 0; i <= 0xfffff; i++) { // The value of "try" is not changed.
                ...
                lfd = rc = open(try, mode);
                ...
                rc = repeat_on_eagain(ioctl(lfd, BB_LOOP_GET_STATUS, 
&loopinfo));
                // Because of race, the value of "rc" is 0. and the value of 
"try" is not changed
                ...
                close(lfd);
        }

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 5/0 (5)

under us by another mount")
