    smb3: do not error on fsync when readonly
    
    [ Upstream commit 71e6864eacbef0b2645ca043cdfbac272cb6cea3 ]
    
    Linux allows doing a flush/fsync on a file open for read-only,
    but the protocol does not allow that.  If the file passed in
    on the flush is read-only try to find a writeable handle for
    the same inode, if that is not possible skip sending the
    fsync call to the server to avoid breaking the apps.
