      block: revert block_dev read-only check · e51900f7
      Chuck Ebbert authored
      This reverts commit 75f1dc0d ("block: check bdev_read_only() from
      blkdev_get()").  That commit added stricter checking to make sure
      devices that were being used read-only were actually opened in that
      mode.
      
      It turns out that the change breaks a bunch of kernel code that opens
      block devices.  Affected systems include dm, md, and the loop device.
      Because strict checking for read-only opens of block devices was not
      done before this, the code that opens the devices was opening them
      read-write even if they were being used read-only.  Auditing all that
      code will take time, and new userspace packages for dm, mdadm, etc.
      will also be required.
