qemu_open() in blkio_virtio_blk_common_open() is used to open the character device (e.g. /dev/vhost-vdpa-0 or /dev/vfio/vfio) or in the future eventually the unix socket.
In all these cases we cannot open the path in read-only mode, when the `read-only` option of blockdev is on, because the exchange of IOCTL commands for example will fail. In order to open the device read-only, we have to use the `read-only` property of the libblkio driver as we already do in blkio_file_open().
