Currently bdex_statx is only called from the very high-level vfs_statx_path function, and thus bypassing it for in-kernel calls to vfs_getattr or vfs_getattr_nosec. This breaks querying the block ѕize of the underlying device in the loop driver and also is a pitfall for any other new kernel caller. Move the call into the lowest level helper to ensure all callers get the right results.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
