Relying on BDRV_O_RESIZE in block drivers is wrong. It is set in some
paths (specifically the users of blk_new_open), but not in others. We
should probably have filtered out the flag before passing it to the
drivers.

As a concrete example, if you're using -blockdev, the bdrv_truncate()
call won't be executed after applying this patch.

I think the correct way would be to check bdrv_is_read_only() instead.
