[PATCH 5.15 261/530] ext4: dont run ext4lazyinit for read-only filesystems

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Josh Triplett <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 426d15ad11419066f7042ffa8fbf1b5c21a1ecbe ]

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")
