[PATCH] loop: cleanup partitions when detaching loop device

[Phillip Susi]

Any partitions added by user space to the loop device were being
left in place after detaching the loop device.  This was because
the detach path issued a BLKRRPART to clean up partitions if
LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN was set, meaning that the partitions were auto
scanned on attach.  Replace this BLKRRPART with code that
unconditionally cleans up partitions on detach instead.
