Summary: libstorage doesn't handle /dev/loop* absence properly

when creating a loopback based crypted storage point using yast partitionner,
creation fails because there is no /dev/loop0 created by default.
This is because /dev/loop[0-4] aren't created anymore by default, until "loop"
module is loaded (which is not the case by default). /dev/loop-control is
always created and will handle "loop" module autoload and /dev/loop? creation
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/26/148 ).
To work "nicely", losetup should be called as :
"losetup -f
