file-posix: Fix check_hdev_writable() with auto-read-only
For Linux block devices, being able to open the device read-write
doesn't necessarily mean that the device is actually writable (one
example is a read-only LV, as you get with lvchange -pr <device>). We
have check_hdev_writable() to check this condition and fail opening the
image read-write if it's not actually writable.
However, this check doesn't take auto-read-only into account, but
results in a hard failure instead of downgrading to read-only where
possible.
Fix this and do the writable check not based on BDRV_O_RDWR, but only
when this actually results in opening the file read-write. A second
check is inserted in raw_reconfigure_getfd() to have the same check when
dynamic auto-read-only upgrades an image file from read-only to
read-write.
