Here is a patch that accomplishes the job. tested to work with
some simple use cases.  check if this works for you. If it does
than we will have to think through all the edge cases and make it
acceptable.

Here is a small program that setsup a mount to enable inheritance
of the RW attribute of the mount.

/* pass_on_readonly.c */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mount.h>

#define MS_STICKY_RW (1<<8)

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	unsigned long flags = MS_STICKY_RW;

	if (argc < 2) {
		printf("only argc=%d\n", argc);
		exit (0);
	}
	if (mount(argv[1], argv[1], NULL, flags, NULL) == -1)
		perror("failed ");
	exit (0);
}

-------------------------------------------------------



my testcase is

a) setup a shared mount
	mkdir shared
	mount --bind shared shared
	mount --make-shared shared

b) setup a slave mount
	mkdir slave
	mount --bind shared slave
	mount --make-slave slave

c) make the slave readonly
	mount -o bind,remount,ro slave

d) setup the slave to for passing one its readonly attribute
	gcc pass_on_readonly.c -o pass_on_readonly
	./pass_on_readonly slave


e) create a small mount tree to bind
	mkdir tmpbind
	mount --bind tmpbind tmpbind
	mkdir -p tmpbind/subtmpbind
	mount --bind tmpbind/subtmpbind tmpbind/subtmpbind

f) now mount this tree on the shared mount
	mkdir shared/sub
	mount --rbind tmpbind shared/sub

e) verify if the mounts under slave/sub are all readonly.
	> slave/sub/create_a_file
	slave/sub/create_a_file	: Read-only file system

	> slave/sub/subtmpbind/create_another_file
	slave/sub/subtmpbind/create_another_file : Read-only file system
