[Patch v2] block: revert block_dev read-only check

This reverts commit 75f1dc0d076d1c1168f2115f1941ea627d38bd5a
("block: check bdev_read_only() from blkdev_get()"). That commit added
stricter checking to make sure devices that were being used read-only
were actually opened in that mode.

It turns out that the change breaks a bunch of kernel code that opens
block devices. Affected systems include dm, md, and the loop device.
Because strict checking for read-only opens of block devices was not
done before this, the code that opens the devices was opening them
read-write even if they were being used read-only. Auditing all that
code will take time, and new userspace packages for dm, mdadm, etc.
will also be required.
