as a result of a creation notification. And it is racing with mkfs, so might still be scanning the device when mkfs finishes and we try to tear it down. So, make losetup -d force autoremove behaviour. That is, when the last reference goes away, tear down the device. xfstests wants it *gone*, not causing random teardown failures when we know that all the operations the tests have specifically run on the device have completed and are no longer referencing the loop device.
