Comment:

 This should rather be a new capability instead of a filter. There are
 other ways to create password protected posts, so a filter to disable the
 form on the post edit screen is not enough.

 There are `delete_private_posts`, `edit_private_posts` and
 `read_private_posts` — so what about adding `publish_private_posts`?
 Perhaps it could by default map to `edit_private_posts` or
 `publish_posts`.
