Subject: [PATCH] ubi: Fix error for write access
Git-commit: 78a8dfbabbece22bee58ac4cb26cab10e7a19c5d
Patch-mainline: v4.17-rc1
References: bsc#1051510

When opening a device with write access, ubiblock_open returns an error
code. Currently, this error code is -EPERM, but this is not the right
value.

The open function for other block devices returns -EROFS when opening
read-only devices with FMODE_WRITE set. When used with dm-verity, the
veritysetup userspace tool is expecting EROFS, and refuses to use the
ubiblock device.

Use -EROFS for ubiblock as well. As a result, veritysetup accepts the
ubiblock device as valid.
