This config was set to 256 in Artful raspi for no apparent reason which
means that the kernel creates 256 loop devices at boot. A recent security
fix [1] introduced a slight delay when loop devices are created which in
turn results in a ~3.5 seconds boot delay of the raspi kernel. Fix that by
setting the config back to 8 (the default), which also matches all the
other Ubuntu kernels.

Verfied that core 18 and 20 create additional loop devices as needed to
mount snaps.
