[PATCH] ext4: Don't run ext4lazyinit for read-only filesystems

[Josh Triplett]

On a read-only filesystem, we won't invoke the block allocator, so we
don't need to prefetch the block bitmaps.

This avoids starting and running the ext4lazyinit thread at all on a
system with no read-write ext4 filesystems (for instance, a container VM
with read-only filesystems underneath an overlayfs).

Fixes: 21175ca434c5 ("ext4: make prefetch_block_bitmaps default")
Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Tested in a VM, with a read-only ext4 root filesystem. Confirmed that
ext4lazyinit starts without this patch, and does not start with this
patch.

(For a future merge window, not the current one. Please let me know if I
need to re-send this at a later, more convenient time.)
