invalid losetup '-k' option in /etc/init.d/crypto-loop script

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create device and setup /etc/conf.d/cryptoloop as config example
2./etc/init.d/crypto-loop start


Actual Results:  
* Starting crypto loop devices ...
*   Loop /dev/loop0 on device /dev/system/test (cipher serpent, key size 256):
/sbin/losetup: invalid option -- k
usage:
/sbin/losetup [-e encryption] [options] loop_device file  # setup
/sbin/losetup -F [options] loop_device [file]   # setup, read /etc/fstab
/sbin/losetup loop_device                       # give info
/sbin/losetup -a                                # give info of all loops
/sbin/losetup -d loop_device                    # delete
options:  -o offset  -s sizelimit  -p passwdfd  -S pseed  -H phash
-I loinit  -T  -K gpgkey  -G gpghome  -C itercountk  -v  -r
* Failure configuring /dev/loop0.  Skipping.  

Expected Results:  
script should be started without errors.

there is no '-k' used in crypto-loop

if you're using old encryption (not loop-AES) you need to re-emerge with
USE=old-crypt
