checkroot.sh: check for conflicting configurations
In our current boot scripts, two ways are used to determine whether the rootfs is read-only or not. One by checking the READ_ONLY_ROOTFS value in /etc/default/rcS, the other by checking the /etc/fstab entry. >From a normal Linux user's point of view, the way of checking the /etc/fstab entry is preferred. However, as there are several boot scripts that need to know whether rootfs is read-only or not, checking /etc/fstab in each script brings too much overhead. Thus, these boot scripts use the READ_ONLY_ROOTFS value in /etc/default/rcS. In normal use cases, there would be no problem, as both /etc/default/rcS and the /etc/fstab are modified at rootfs time. However, if the user changes the mount option for rootfs in /etc/fstab to read-write, and he/she forgets to change the value in /etc/default/rcS, there would be unexpected results. For example, the udev-cache would still be disabled. So at a minimal, a check for conflicting configurations between /etc/fstab and /etc/default/rcS should be added in checkroot.sh so that there would be reasonable warnings if users have configured the system in a non-consistent way.
