[PATCH] inode: For readonly filesystem, func file_update_time should return -EROFS rather than zero.

For ext2 mounted with errors=remount-ro, if write a file and because the
harddisk error, the fs became ro.But the following test can't return.

int main()
{
int ret;
int i = 0;
char buff[SIZE];
int fd = open("/opt/test", O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT);

if (fd < 0) {
printf("open error %s\n", strerror(errno));
return errno;
}

ret = write(fd, buff, SIZE);
lseek(fd, 0, 0);

while (1) {
ret = write(fd, buff, SIZE);
if (ret < 0) {
printf("write error %s\n", strerror(errno));
break;
}
lseek(fd, 0, 0);
i++;
}
printf("write count=%d\n", i);
close(fd);

return 0;
}

For ext3/ext4, because jbd the test can return. But for ext2, because no
jbd and not reading bitmap from harddisk, the test continue.

So we should add check readonly-fs on write-path. Func file_update_time
already check the readonly flag,but it can't return -EROFS.
For readonly-fs, it can't update a/c/m time of file,it should return
-EROFS rather than zero.
