scsi-generic: let guests recognize readonly=on on passthrough devices
Passed-through SCSI devices can be opened with the readonly=on option.
When this happens, Linux filters away write commands so that the guest
cannot overwrite the contents of the device.
However, the guest does not know that the device is read-only, and
accepts writes. The writes only fail later when the page cache is
flushed.
This patch modifies scsi-generic to modify the MODE SENSE data and
set the read-only bit in the device-specific parameters, so that
the guest OS treats the disk as write protected.
