[LTP] [RFC PATCH v1 1/2] safe_macros.c: Fix missing ro flag for FUSE NTFS mounts

The test incorrectly assumes that NTFS mounts are read-only, but the mount
command does not explicitly set the read-only flag. As a result, the test fails
when checking `sb_flags` against `MS_RDONLY`.

Old behavior:

	sudo LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE=ntfs strace -e trace=mount,statmount -o log.log -s 128 -f ./statmount02
	...
	statmount02.c:47: TFAIL: st_mount->sb_flags (0) != MS_RDONLY (1)
	...

Relevant log excerpt:

	3890601 mount("/dev/zero", "/tmp/mountBDSEqk", "ntfs", 0, NULL) = -1 ENOTBLK (Block device required)
	3890608 mount("/dev/loop0", "/tmp/LTP_staTPRruR/mntpoint", "fuseblk", 0, "allow_other,blksize=4096,fd=4,rootmode=40000,user_id=0,group_id=0") = 0
	3890607 statmount({size=24, mnt_id=0x80010957, param=STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC}, {size=512, mask=STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC, sb_dev_major=7, sb_dev_minor=0, sb_magic=FUSE_SUPER_MAGIC, sb_flags=0}, 512, 0) = 0
