Hmm, unconditionally requesting write doesn't work, since qemu on the
secondary side is started with "-miration incoming", it goes into
runstate RUN_STATE_INMIGRATE from the beginning and then blockdev_init()
opens every blockdev with BDRV_O_INACTIVE and then it errors out with
-drive driver=replication,...: Block node is read-only.
