blk: fix wrong idr_pre_get() error check in loop.c
The idr_pre_get() function never returns a value < 0. It returns 0 (no memory) or 1 (OK). Reported-by: Silva Paulo <psdasilva@yahoo.com> [ Rewrote Silva's patch, but attributing it to Silva anyway - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
