The following two 'check only recovery' processes are very dependent on
the return value of f2fs_recover_fsync_data, especially when the return
value is greater than 0.
1. when device has readonly mode, shown as commit
23738e74472f ("f2fs: fix to restrict mount condition on readonly block device")
2. mount optiont NORECOVERY or DISABLE_ROLL_FORWARD is set, shown as commit
6781eabba1bd ("f2fs: give -EINVAL for norecovery and rw mount")

However, commit c426d99127b1 ("f2fs: Check write pointer consistency of open zones")
will change the return value unexpectedly, thereby changing the caller's behavior

This patch let the f2fs_recover_fsync_data return correct value,and not do
f2fs_check_and_fix_write_pointer when the device is read-only.
