Subject: [PATCH 39/41] union-mount: Ignore read-only file system in permission checks
In certain cases, we check a file for write access before it has been
copied up to the top-level fs. We don't want to fail because the
bottom layer is read-only - of course it is - so skip that check in
those cases.
Thanks to Felix Fietkau <nbd@...nwrt.org> for a bug fix.
XXX - Document when to call union_permission() vs. inode_permission()
XXX - Kinda gross. Probably a simpler solution.
