cryptoloop: add a deprecation warning
Support for cryptoloop has been officially marked broken and deprecated in favor of dm-crypt (which supports the same broken algorithms if needed) in Linux 2.6.4 (released in March 2004), and support for it has been entirely removed from losetup in util-linux 2.23 (released in April 2013). Add a warning and a deprecation schedule. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210827163250.255325-1-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
