Subject: [PATCH 1/4] libnvdimm: add a ro state control function for nvdimm

libndctl failed to pass when writing pmem disk.
Here is the error message below,

    namespace6.0: failed to write /dev/pmem6
    check_namespaces: namespace6.0 validate_bdev failed
    ndctl-test1 failed: -6

Commit 98f49b63e84d4ee1a5c327d0b5f4e8699f6c70fe removes set_device_ro and
e00adcadf3af7a8335026d71ab9f0e0a922191ac adds a new set_read_only method
to allow for driver-specific processing when changing the block device's
read-only state.

Current drivers nd_pmem, nd_blk and nd_btt don't have the capability to
enable or disable write protect (read-only) state. Without that,
blkdev_roset just modifies the value of bd_read_only of struct block_device
and returns success to ioctl of block device. Error would happen when writing
read-only disk next.

Add ro state control function in libnvdimm for this purpose.
