loop: Do not call loop_unplug for not configured loop device.
In loop_unplug() function is expected that mapping is set
and lo->lo_backing_file is not NULL.

Unfortunately loop_set_fd() set the request queue unplug function,
but loop_clr_fd() doesn't clear that.

Loop device allows open of non-configured loop in some situations.
If the unplug on request queue is called, loop module oopses because
of missing lo_backing_file.

Simple reproducer:
	losetup /dev/loop0 /xxx
	losetup -d /dev/loop0
	dmsetup create x --table "0 1 linear /dev/loop0 0"

Fix it by simply clear unplug function together with
removing of backing file.
