commit c01a21b77722db0474bbcc4eafc8c4e0d8fed6d8 upstream.

Commit 716ad0986cbd ("loop: Switch to set_capacity_revalidate_and_notify")
causes an occasional drop of loop device uevent, which are no longer
triggered in loop_set_size() but in a different part of code.

Bug is reproducible with LTP test uevent01 [1]:

i=0; while true; do
i=$((i+1)); echo "== $i =="
lsmod |grep -q loop && rmmod -f loop
./uevent01 || break
done

Put back triggering through code called in loop_set_size().

Fix required to add yet another parameter to
set_capacity_revalidate_and_notify().

[hch: rebased on a different change to the prototype of
set_capacity_revalidate_and_notify]
