Let's gracefully handle cases where a device disappears in the time we between our discovery and when we want to detach it, due to "auto-clear" or a similar logic. The loopback case already handled this quite OK, do the same for MD and swap too. Switch to ERRNO_IS_DEVICE_ABSENT() for all checks, just in case. Also improve debug logging for all these cases, so we know exactly what is going on. This is inspired by #37160, but shouldn't really fix anything there, I am pretty sure the ENODEV seen in that output stems from the STOP_ARRAY call, not from the open(). Note that this does not change anything for the device mapper case, because the DM subsystem does not return useful error codes to userspace, hence everything is a complete mess there.
