[PATCH 5.4 116/214] ext4: handle read only external journal device

From: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 273108fa5015eeffc4bacfa5ce272af3434b96e4 ]

Ext4 uses blkdev_get_by_dev() to get the block_device for journal device
which does check to see if the read-only block device was opened
read-only.

As a result ext4 will hapily proceed mounting the file system with
external journal on read-only device. This is bad as we would not be
able to use the journal leading to errors later on.

Instead of simply failing to mount file system in this case, treat it in
a similar way we treat internal journal on read-only device. Allow to
mount with -o noload in read-only mode.

This can be reproduced easily like this:

mke2fs -F -O journal_dev $JOURNAL_DEV 100M
mkfs.$FSTYPE -F -J device=$JOURNAL_DEV $FS_DEV
blockdev --setro $JOURNAL_DEV
mount $FS_DEV $MNT
touch $MNT/file
umount $MNT

leading to error like this
