[PATCH] r/o bind mounts: stub functions
This patch adds two function mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write(). These are
used like a lock pair around and fs operations that might cause a write to the
filesystem.
Before these can become useful, we must first cover each place in the VFS
where writes are performed with a want/drop pair. When that is complete, we
can actually introduce code that will safely check the counts before allowing
r/w<->r/o transitions to occur.
