Subject: [ 39/52] UBI: fix autoresize handling in R/O mode

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@...ux.intel.com>

commit abb3e01103eb4e2ea5c15e6fedbc74e08bd4cc2b upstream.

Currently UBI fails in autoresize when it is in R/O mode (e.g., because the
underlying MTD device is R/O). This patch fixes the issue - we just skip
autoresize and print a warning.
