I will try to come up with a commit message. AFAIU the missing call to 
loop_config_discard() causes the block device to report "no discard 
support" (best-case) or stale/incorrect discard support (ex: if the loop 
device was configured with LOOP_SET_STATUS(64) and later LOOP_CONFIGURE).

I will move it before loop_update_rotational().
