[PATCH] Allow multipath devices to be created for readonly devices

[Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@xxxxxxx>]

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx>
Subject: Allow multipath devices to be created for readonly devices

Currently we cannot create device-mapper tables for multipath devices
whenever they are read-only.This patch modifies the device-mapper to
set the 'READ-ONLY' flag automatically whenever a read-only is added
to the table.
