[issue16489] importlib find_loader returns a loader for a non existent module

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

Everything is working as expected; you left out the path argument::

  importlib.find_loader('package.foo', ['package'])

This works the way it does because otherwise we would have to stat every single time from the top level on down and that is extremely costly.
