4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
commit 8b2ded1c94c06f841f8c1612bcfa33c85012a36b upstream.
It is possible to call fsync on a read-only handle (for example, fsck.ext2 does it when doing read-only check), and this call results in kernel warning.
The patch b089cfd95d32 ("block: don't warn for flush on read-only device") attempted to disable the warning, but it is buggy and it doesn't (op_is_flush tests flags, but bio_op strips off the flags).
