[PATCH] multipath devices are not getting created for readonly devices

[Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx>]

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