tmpfiles: try to handle read-only file systems gracefully

On read-only filesystems trying to create the target will not fail with
EEXIST but with EROFS. Handle EROFS by checking if the target already
exists, and if empty when truncating.
This avoids reporting errors if tmpfiles doesn't actually needs to do
anything.

[zj: revert condition to whitelist rather then blacklisting, and add goto
to avoid stat'ting twice.]
