loop: properly send KOBJ_CHANGED uevent for disk device
The original commit message and the wording "uncork" in the code comment
indicate that it is expected that the suppressed event instances are
automatically sent after unsuppressing.
This is not the case, instead they are discarded.
In effect this means that no "changed" events are emitted on the device
itself by default.
While each discovered partition does trigger a changed event on the
device, devices without partitions don't have any event emitted.
This makes udev miss the device creation and prompted workarounds in
userspace. See the linked util-linux/losetup bug.
Explicitly emit the events and drop the confusingly worded comments.
