[PULL 08/17] qcow2: do not try to clear the dirty bit on a read-only node

qcow2_do_close() -> qcow2_inactivate() clears the dirty bit with a
plain write to bs->file, unconditionally. A read-only node can still
be dirty, inherited from an earlier writable session, and that write
then hits a missing BLK_PERM_WRITE and asserts in
bdrv_co_write_req_prepare() (block/io.c) on an entirely ordinary
close -- closing is expected, the dirty bit on a read-only node
is not.

Skip the clear for read-only nodes, same as read access already does.
Any other still-dirty node keeps the unguarded write: it is expected
to hold write permission, and a missing one there is a bug worth
seeing.
