block: don't rely on BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES when yielding write access
Make it possible to detected a block device that was opened with
restricted write access based only on BLK_OPEN_WRITE and
bdev->bd_writers < 0 so we won't have to claim another FMODE_* flag.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
