I think it makes sense to reuse loop device by mount(8), because the
goal is to mount FS and mount the same FS from two device may be
disaster, but I'm not sure about losetup.
Would be enough to keep it stupid and exit with error if the same
backing file is already used and require --force to create duplicate
loopdev?
if (!force && has_conflict(backing_file, ....))
err(EXIT_FAILURE, _("%s: already associated with %s"), ....);
