libndctl failed to pass for the reason of writing pmem disk when running
ndctl testing.
Here is the error message below,
namespace6.0: failed to write /dev/pmem6
check_namespaces: namespace6.0 validate_bdev failed
ndctl-test1 failed: -6
Commit 98f49b63e84d4ee1a5c327d0b5f4e8699f6c70fe removes set_device_ro and
e00adcadf3af7a8335026d71ab9f0e0a922191ac adds a new set_read_only method
to allow for driver-specific processing when changing the block device's
read-only state.
Current drivers nd_pmem, nd_blk and nd_btt don't have the capability to
enable or disable write protect (read-only) state. Without that,
blkdev_roset just modifies the value of bd_read_only of struct block_device
and returns success to ioctl of block device. Error would happen when writing
read-only disk next.
Add ro state control function in libnvdimm for this purpose, and implement
set_read_only for BLKROSET.
