Subject: [RFC][PATCH 09/30] r/o bind mounts: drop write during emergency remount


The emergency remount code forcibly removes FMODE_WRITE from
filps.  The r/o bind mount code notices that this was done
without a proper mnt_drop_write() and properly gives a
warning.

This patch does a mnt_drop_write() to keep everything
balanced.
