Subject: [PATCH 1/1] btrfs: btrfs_calc_avail_data_space cope with no read/write devices V2

When we mount a btrfs filesystem from read-only media there will be no
read/write devices; for example mounting an SD card with its lock enabled.
This triggers an immediate BUG during mount:

  kernel BUG at .../fs/btrfs/super.c:984!

This is triggered by statfs when calculating the free space in the
filesytem.  We bug if the number of read/write devices is 0.

This check seems spurious as the information collected is valid regardless
of whether the devices are read-only or not.  As the count is used to
size the sort array it seems more correct to switch it to the number of
open devices.
