Description

Currently, if losetup -f has to create a new device node and is run in a docker container, the device will be created on host butt will not be available to the already running container. This PR mitigates that by running losetup -f in a container in case there are no loop devices (/dev/loop0 is checked). The container exits after executing losetup and the main build container is run after.

The MKNOD capability does not affect the issue, so it was removed.

GitHub issue reference: #6568 Jira reference number AR-2132

How Has This Been Tested?

• Fresh boot on a system that doesn't have loop devices created by default
• Run a dockerized build ./compile.sh build PREFER_DOCKER=yes
