Subject[PATCH] Export disk->policy to sysfs

Hi!

This small patch against 2.6.10-rc3 exports the disk->policy variable to
sysfs as /sys/block/DEVICE/read_only.

It can be useful for people or scripts wanting to check the state of a
device, specially now that USB storage has write protect detection.

Thanks,
Alberto
