[RFC PATCH 3/4] blkdev: add function to add named read-only partitions

[Daniel Golle]

Add function bdev_add_partition_ro() which can be used by drivers to
register named read-only partitions on a disk device.
Unlike the existing bdev_add_partition() function, there is also no
check for overlapping partitions.
This new function is going to be used by the uImage.FIT parser.
