CAI Qian, can you try and back the below out and test again?

    loop: cleanup partitions when detaching loop device
    
    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.
