maintainerPATCH 1/1 multipath: make path devices readonly again
Path device fds were changed to be opened read/write when the mpathpersist code was added. However, I have talked with Vijay, and this doesn't appear to be necessary for mpathpersist to work correctly. If the path fds are opened read/write, when they are closed a change uevent is triggered, which was causing problems during shutdown with LVM on top of multipath devices. This patch reverts them to being read-only again.
