[PATCH] losetup: restore -f/loopdev alternative

[PATCH] losetup: restore -f/loopdev alternative

[Stephen Kitt]

-f and loopdev are exclusive; the old man page made this explicit, but
this was lost in the Asciidoc transition in commit 6d5b69483a58
("Asciidoc: Import sys-utils man pages, part 1").

This patch restores the lost pipe, so that the disjunction is
explicit:

        losetup ... [--show] -f|loopdev file
                               ^

Ah, I've just applied https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/pull/1556
with the same issue.
