If the operation is not an update, if neither r/w nor r/o mode is explicitly requested, if the error code hints at the possibility of the media being read-only, and if the fallback is allowed, then we can try to automatically downgrade to the readonly mode. This is especially useful for auto-mounting of removable media that sometimes can happen to be write-protected. The fallback to r/o is not enabled by default. It can be requested on a per-mount basis with a new mount option, 'autoro'. Or it can be globally allowed by setting vfs.default_autoro.
