[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-4.1 1/2] fdc: Fix inserting read-only media in empty drive

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

In order to insert a read-only medium (i.e. a read-only block node) to
the BlockBackend of a floppy drive, we must not have taken write
permissions on that BlockBackend, or the operation will fail with the
error message "Block node is read-only".

The device already takes care to remove all permissions when the medium
is ejected, but the state isn't correct if the drive is initially empty:
It uses blk_is_read_only() to check whether write permissions should be
taken, but this function returns false for empty BlockBackends in the
common case.

Fix floppy_drive_realize() to avoid taking write permissions if the
drive is empty.
