I don't really know this code, but have to ask.

Would not it be much better to pass down info about rdonly request to
copy_tree/clone_mnt (perhaps CL_MOUNT_RDONLY flag or a separate flags
argument) and handle it there?

This would avoid fishy-looking traversal before graft_tree, which even
if correct should not be necessary.
