For Linux block devices, being able to open the device read-write doesn't necessarily mean that the device is actually writable (one example is a read-only LV, as you get with lvchange -pr <device>). We have check_hdev_writable() to check this condition and fail opening the image read-write if it's not actually writable.
However, this check doesn't take auto-read-only into account, but results in a hard failure instead of downgrading to read-only where possible. Fix this and do the writable check not based on BDRV_O_RDWR, but only when this actually results in opening the file read-write. A second check is inserted in raw_reconfigure_getfd() to have the same check when dynamic auto-read-only upgrades an image file from read-only to read-write.
