loop: don't require ->write_iter for writable files in loop_configure
Block devices can be opened read-write even if they can't be written to for historic reasons. Remove the check requiring file->f_op->write_iter when the block devices was opened in loop_configure. The call to loop_check_backing_file just below ensures the ->write_iter is present for backing files opened for writing, which is the only check that is actually needed.
