loop: remove manually added partitions on detach
Commit 267ec4d7223a ("loop: fix partition scan race between udev and loop_reread_partitions()") stopped disk_force_media_change() from setting GD_NEED_PART_SCAN because loop devices with LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN rescan partitions explicitly. However, partitions can also be added manually with BLKPG while LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN is clear. When such a loop device is detached, __loop_clr_fd() skips bdev_disk_changed(). Without GD_NEED_PART_SCAN, reopening the unbound device no longer performs the previous lazy cleanup, leaving dead partition devices behind. A subsequent LOOP_CONFIGURE can then fail its partition scan with -EBUSY, as seen in blktests loop/009 after loop/008. Call bdev_disk_changed() unconditionally during __loop_clr_fd(). The disk capacity is already zero and the release path holds open_mutex, so this drops all partitions without rescanning the detached backing file. The new blktests loop/013 case covers this sequence by adding a partition with BLKPG without LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN, detaching the loop device, and checking that the partition is gone when the device is reopened.
