The multi-mount protection kthread checks for read-only filesystem and aborts in that case. The remount code actually handles stopping of the kthread on remount so the only purpose of the check is in case of emergency remount read-only. Replace the check for read-only filesystem with a check for shutdown filesystem as running MMP on such is risky anyway and it makes ordering of things during remount simpler.
