When LOOP_CONFIGURE is used with LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN we need to propagate this into the GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN. LOOP_SETSTATUS does this, LOOP_CONFIGURE doesn't so far. Effect is that setting up a loopback device with partition scanning doesn't actually work when LOOP_CONFIGURE is issued, though it works fine with LOOP_SETSTATUS. Let's correct that and propagate the flag in LOOP_CONFIGURE too.
