Currently, _create_loop_device() does not specify the --sizelimit option to the losetup command. As a result, the loop device has the same size as the backing file or device. To allow controlling the loop device size, add a third optional argument to _create_loop_device(). Also, modify _create_loop_device_like_bdev() to pass its third argument to _create_loop_device().
