md: never update metadata when array is read-only.
Normally we don't even try to update the metadata if the array is read-only. However future patches will increase the number of things that can happen on a read-only array, so it is safest to explicitly disable this. Every time that mddev->ro is set to 0, either - md_update_sb will be called again (at least if MD_CHANGE_DEVS is set) or - the mddev->thread is scheduled, which will also run md_update_sb if needed. So this is safe: if the array ever become read-write the metadata will be updated. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
