ext4: do not commit super on read-only bdev
[ Upstream commit c96e2b8564adfb8ac14469ebc51ddc1bfecb3ae2 ] Under some circumstances we may encounter a filesystem error on a read-only block device, and if we try to save the error info to the superblock and commit it, we'll wind up with a noisy error and backtrace, i.e.: [ 3337.146838] EXT4-fs error (device pmem1p2): ext4_get_journal_inode:4634: comm mount: inode #0: comm mount: iget: illegal inode # ------------[ cut here ]------------ generic_make_request: Trying to write to read-only block-device pmem1p2 (partno 2) WARNING: CPU: 107 PID: 115347 at block/blk-core.c:788 generic_make_request_checks+0x6b4/0x7d0 ... To avoid this, commit the error info in the superblock only if the block device is writable.
