[PATCH 1/5] thread_with_file: allow creation of readonly files

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>

Create a new run_thread_with_stdout function that opens a file in
O_RDONLY mode so that the kernel can write things to userspace but
userspace cannot write to the kernel.  This will be used to convey xfs
health event information to userspace.
