Tools: hv: vss: Skip freezing filesystems backed by loop
Since a loop device is backed by a file, a backup will already result in its parent filesystem being frozen. It's sufficient to just freeze the parent filesystem, so we can skip the loop device. This avoids a situation where a loop device and its parent filesystem are both frozen and then thawed out of order. For example, if the loop device is enumerated first, we would thaw it while its parent filesystem is still frozen. The thaw operation fails and the loop device remains frozen.
