[Bug 1516480] [NEW] usb startup disk creator fails to install boot loader, leaves loop devices mounted

[Phillip Susi]

Public bug reported:

I just tried using the usb startup disk creator in 15.10 to create a usb
boot stick, and after copying the files, it said that it failed to
install the boot loader.  After clicking OK and closing it down, I am
unable to unmount the usb stick apparently because it associated a loop
device with both the .iso image and the squashfs.filesystem on the usb
stick, and left these open.
