[PATCH 2/2] block: clear ro on fd detach fd is bound

[Tejun Heo]

Commit 75f1dc0d (block: check bdev_read_only() from blkdev_get())
enforced bdev_read_only() check during blkdev_get().  This had an
unfortunate side effect on loop because loop didn't clear ro flag on
fd detach, so once a loop device was used ro, it can't be used for rw
at all.

Fix it by clearing ro flag on fd detach.
