loop: export module parameters

Export 'max_loop' and 'max_part' parameters to sysfs so user can know
that how many devices are allowed and how many partitions are supported.

If 'max_loop' is 0, there is no restriction on the number of loop devices.
User can create/use the devices as many as minor numbers available. If
'max_part' is 0, it means simply the device doesn't support partitioning.

Also note that 'max_part' can be adjusted to power of 2 minus 1 form if
needed. User should check this value after the module loading if he/she
want to use that number correctly (i.e. fdisk, mknod, etc.).
