Orphan cleanup is currently executed even on readonly mount.
It deletes inodes and frees blocks, which could be very bad for some
RO_COMPAT features, HAS_SNAPSHOT to name one.
Now the damage is done, because current stock kernels may
corrupt future fs with readonly compatible features,
when doing orphan cleanup.
This patch skips the orphan cleanup if readonly compatible features
would prevent the fs from being mounted (or remounted) readwrite.
