UBIFS: fix oops when R/O file-system is fsync'ed

This patch fixes severe UBIFS bug: UBIFS oopses when we 'fsync()' an
file on R/O-mounter file-system. We (the UBIFS authors) incorrectly
thought that VFS would not propagate 'fsync()' down to the file-system
if it is read-only, but this is not the case.

It is easy to exploit this bug using the following simple perl script:

use strict;
use File::Sync qw(fsync sync);

die "File path is not specified" if not defined $ARGV[0];
my $path = $ARGV[0];

open FILE, "<", "$path" or die "Cannot open $path: $!";
fsync(\*FILE) or die "cannot fsync $path: $!";
close FILE or die "Cannot close $path: $!";

Thanks to Reuben Dowle <Reuben.Dowle@navico.com> for reporting about this
issue.
