[ Upstream commit 426d15ad11419066f7042ffa8fbf1b5c21a1ecbe ]
On a read-only filesystem, we won't invoke the block allocator, so we
don't need to prefetch the block bitmaps.
This avoids starting and running the ext4lazyinit thread at all on a
system with no read-write ext4 filesystems (for instance, a container VM
with read-only filesystems underneath an overlayfs).
Fixes: 21175ca434c5 ("ext4: make prefetch_block_bitmaps default")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
