Make sure a superblock really is writeable by checking MS_RDONLY under s_umount. sync_filesystems needed some re-arragement for that, but all but one sync_filesystem caller had the correct locking already so that we could add that check there. cachefiles grew s_umount locking. I've also added a WARN_ON to sync_filesystem to assert this for future callers.
