    If mount flags don't have MS_RDONLY, iso9660 returns EACCES without actually
    checking if it's an iso image.
    
    This tricks mount_block_root() into retrying with MS_RDONLY.  This results
    in a read-only root despite the "rw" boot parameter if the actual
    filesystem was checked after iso9660.
    
    I believe the behavior of iso9660 is okay, while that of mount_block_root()
    is not.  It should rather try all types without MS_RDONLY and only then
    retry with MS_RDONLY.
    
    This change also makes the code more robust against the case when EACCES is
    returned despite MS_RDONLY, which would've resulted in a lockup.
