Subject: [RFC PATCH] block: remove bio_check_ro

From: Liu Song <liusong@...ux.alibaba.com>

Partially revert make "bio_check_ro" only return false, and may generate
at most one warning print.

>From the commit log of a32e236eb9, it has been stated that it is
compatible with the old lvm tool, so there is a high probability that
this alarm will not really be noticed, so it is better to remove it
directly.
