Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct file's. Any of these users which set the write flag on the file will cause an extra mnt_drop_write() on __fput(), thus dropping the reference count too low. These users tend to have artifical in-kernel vfsmounts which aren't really exposed to userspace and can't be remounted, but this patch is included for completeness and so that the warnings don't trip over these cases.
