isofs does support read_iter, without that it would not have worked
before either. That is not the problem. It must be related to
the FMODE_WRITE check - i.e. we have a writable FD here, but a file
system that does not actually supports writes. Which honestly feels
weird, but we'll have to figure it out to unbreak these setups.
