Subject: [PATCH 3.16 099/212] ext4: return EROFS if device is r/o and
 journal replay is needed

3.16.44-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>

commit 4753d8a24d4588657bc0a4cd66d4e282dff15c8c upstream.

If the file system requires journal recovery, and the device is
read-ony, return EROFS to the mount system call.  This allows xfstests
generic/050 to pass.
