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.
