nilfs2: add norecovery mount option
This adds "norecovery" mount option which disables temporal write access to read-only mounts or snapshots during mount/recovery. Without this option, write access will be even performed for those types of mounts; the temporal write access is needed to mount root file system read-only after an unclean shutdown. This option will be helpful when user wants to prevent any write access to the device. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>
