 ah, good catch. Thanks!

 I think we could be smarter. We can try to detect autoclear
 loop devices. See the patch below.

 [I'm going to create a stable/v2.14 branch.]

Subject: [PATCH] umount: improve "-d" option for autoclear loops

The new loop auto-destruct feature detaches automatically loop devices
when no longer used. This means they are detached with the umount()
call. But when we call umount with -d, del_loop() is called and fails
because the ioctl() returns ENXIO. We have to check for autoclear
loop devices rather than blindly call del_loop().
