test: check for /dev/loop-control when checking lodev availability

losetup in util-linux 2.40 started reporting lost loop devices [0] and
it has an unfortunate side-effect where it reports lost devices even in
containers, which then makes the loop device check "falsely" pass [1].

Let's just check for /dev/loop-control explicitly to "work around" this.
