Please make sure this fix from Tim Robbins <tjr at freebsd.org> comes in
just for the case someone imports something ...

This prevents from hangig up FreeBSD if you mounted
fat32 partitions ro, change it to rw and then write
something to it.

>From perforce log:
XXX Propagate hack from UFS: open device for write access even if the
user requests a read-only mount. This is fairly stupid, but it's
necessary because we don't do the VOP_OPEN again if they upgrade a
read-only mount to read-write.
Fixes lockup when creating files on msdosfs mounts that have been
mounted read-only then upgraded to read-write, reported by andreas at .
