On legacy kernels with ROM devices, we can get mtdinfo errors like:

libmtd: error!: cannot open "/dev/mtd4"
        error 13 (Permission denied)
mtdinfo: error!: libmtd failed get MTD device 4 information
         error 13 (Permission denied)

We don't need O_RDRW access for informational ioctls(), so make this
O_RDONLY.
