    hw/9pfs: Remove O_NOATIME flag from 9pfs open() calls in readonly mode
    
    When 2c74c2cb4bedddbfa67628fbd5f9273b4e0e9903 added support for
    the 'readonly' flag against 9p filesystems, it also made QEMU
    add the O_NOATIME flag as a side-effect.
    
    The O_NOATIME flag, however, may only be set by the file owner,
    or a user with CAP_FOWNER capability.  QEMU cannot assume that
    this is the case for filesytems exported to QEMU.
    
    eg, run QEMU as non-root, and attempt to pass the host OS
    filesystem through to the guest OS with readonly enable.
    The result is that the guest OS cannot open any files at
    all.
    
    If O_NOATIME is really required, it should be optionally
    enabled via a separate QEMU command line flag.
