Some devices come online in write protected state and switch to
read-write once they are ready to process I/O requests. These devices
broke with commit 20bd1d026aac ("scsi: sd: Keep disk read-only when
re-reading partition") because we have no way to distinguish between a
user decision to set a block_device read-only and the disk being write
protected as a result of the hardware state.

To overcome this we add a third state to the gendisk read-only
policy. This flag is exlusively used when the user forces a struct
block_device read-only via BLKROSET. We currently don't allow
switching ro state in sysfs so the ioctl is the only entry point for
this new state.

In set_disk_ro() we check whether the user override flag is in effect
for a disk before changing read-only state based on the device
settings. This means that devices that have a delay before going
read-write will now be able to clear the read-only state. And devices
where the admin or udev has forced the disk read-only will not cause
the gendisk policy to reflect the mode reported by the device.

I have verified that get_disk_ro() and bdev_read_only() callers all
handle the additional value correctly. Same is true for "ro" in
sysfs.

Note that per-partition ro settings are lost on revalidate. This has
been broken for at least a decade and it will require major surgery to
fix. To my knowledge nobody has complained about being unable to make
partition read-only settings stick through a revalidate. So hopefully
this patch will suffice as a simple fix for stable.
