An ext3 filesystem on a read-only device, with an external journal
which is at a different device number then recorded in the superblock
will fail to honor the read-only setting of the device and trigger
a superblock update (write).

For example:
  - ext3 on a software raid which is in read-only mode
  - external journal on a read-write device which has changed device num
  - attempt to mount with -o journal_dev=<new_number>
  - hits BUG_ON(mddev->ro = 1) in md.c
