Subject: [PATCH] loop: clear read-only flag in loop_clr_fd.

From: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@...bao.com>

In 75f1dc0, we check bdev_read_only() from blkdev_get().
But the loop_clr_fd doesn't clear the read only flag.
What cause a error if we changing a loop device from
read only to writable.

A simple test to reproduce the error reported by Milan[1]:
touch /x1.img
losetup -r /dev/loop0 /x1.img
losetup -d /dev/loop0
losetup /dev/loop0 /x1.img
/dev/loop0: Permission denied
