loop: fix I/O error on fsync() in detached loop devices

There's an I/O error on fsync() in a detached loop device
if it has been previously attached.

The issue is write cache is enabled in the attach path in
loop_configure() but it isn't disabled in the detach path;
thus it remains enabled in the block device regardless of
whether it is attached or not.

Now fsync() can get an I/O request that will just be failed
later in loop_queue_rq() as device's state is not 'Lo_bound'.

So, disable write cache in the detach path.

Do so based on the queue flag, not the loop device flag for
read-only (used to enable) as the queue flag can be changed
via sysfs even on read-only loop devices (e.g., losetup -r.)

Test-case:

    # DEV=/dev/loop7

    # IMG=/tmp/image
    # truncate --size 1M $IMG

    # losetup $DEV $IMG
    # losetup -d $DEV

Before:

    # strace -e fsync parted -s $DEV print 2>&1 | grep fsync
    fsync(3)                                = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
    Warning: Error fsyncing/closing /dev/loop7: Input/output error
    [  982.529929] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev loop7, sector 0 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 0 prio class 0

After:

    # strace -e fsync parted -s $DEV print 2>&1 | grep fsync
    fsync(3)                                = 0
