[PATCH] block: fix RO partition with RW disk

[Junxiao Bi]

When md raid1 was used with imsm metadata, during the boot stage,
the raid device will first be set to readonly, then mdmon will set
it read-write later. When there were some partitions in this device,
the following race would make some partition left ro and fail to mount.

CPU 1:                                                 CPU 2:
add_partition()                                        set_disk_ro() //set disk RW
 //disk was RO, so partition set to RO
 p->policy = get_disk_ro(disk);
                                                        if (disk->part0.policy != flag) {
                                                            set_disk_ro_uevent(disk, flag);
                                                            // disk set to RW
                                                            disk->part0.policy = flag;
                                                        }
                                                        // set all exit partition to RW
                                                        while ((part = disk_part_iter_next(&piter)))
                                                            part->policy = flag;
 // this part was not yet added, so it was still RO
 rcu_assign_pointer(ptbl->part[partno], p);

Move RO status setting of partitions after they were added into partition
table and introduce a mutex to sync RO status between disk and partitions.
