Revert "umount: make -d always active, add -D to suppress it"
This reverts commit 86a03bee1d3d6990c03bf500836b19ec8a1c1f12.
Since now our "mount -oloop" creates AUTOCLEARed loopdevs, we no longer
need our umount to destroy loopdevs to match the usual util-linux behaviour.
Now this revert fixes another, opposite bug: "explicit" mount /dev/loopN
and then umount must not drop loopdevs!
User complaint is as follows:
It seems LOOP_CLR_FD called on a loop-*partition* removes the mapping of
the whole *device* - which results in the following:
root@LEDE:/# loop=$(losetup -f)
root@LEDE:/# echo ${loop}
/dev/loop2
root@LEDE:/# losetup ${loop} /IMAGE
root@LEDE:/# ls -l ${loop}*
brw-------  1 root root     7,   2 Mar  6 20:09 /dev/loop2
root@LEDE:/# partprobe ${loop}
root@LEDE:/# ls -l ${loop}*

open("/dev/loop2p7", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
ioctl(3, LOOP_CLR_FD)                   = 0
root@LEDE:/#
The strace was done to figure out, if maybe umount wrongly ioctl()'s the
parent device instead of the partition - it doesn't.
I already wasn't a fan of umount implicitly removing the mapping in the
first place (as I usually setup and release loop devices with `losetup`
and scripts needed to call umount differently in order to work and
outside busybox).
However taking above (kernel-)behaviour into account - umount calling
ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) unconditionally potentially causes some nasty side
effects
