Currently callers can happily submit writes to block devices that are
marked read-only, including to drivers that don't even support writes
and will crash when fed such bios.
While bio submitter should check for read-only devices, that's not a
very robust way of dealing with this.
Note that the last attempt to do this got reverted by Linus in commit
a32e236eb93e ("Partially revert "block: fail op_is_write() requests to
read-only partitions") because device mapper relyied on not enforcing
the read-only state when used together with older lvm-tools.
The lvm side got fixed in:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=lvm2.git;a=commit;h=a6fdb9d9d70f51c49ad11a87ab4243344e6701a3
but if people still have older lvm2 tools in use we probably need
to find a workaround for this in device mapper rather than lacking
the core block layer checks.
