It looks innocent enough - but I have bisected it down to with (bad)
and just before (good)...
4c823cc3d568277aa6340d8df6981e34f4c4dee5 is the first bad commit

| drivers/block/loop.c: remove unnecessary bdev argument from loop_clr_fd()
|
| If the loop device is associated (lo->lo_state == Lo_bound), it will have
| a valid bdev pointed to by lo->lo_device. There is no reason to ever pass
| an additional block_device pointer.

| | drivers/block/loop.c: emit uevent on auto release
