The emergency remount code forcibly removes FMODE_WRITE from filps.  The r/o
bind mount code notices that this was done without a proper mnt_drop_write()
and properly gives a warning.

This patch does a mnt_drop_write() and also notes in the filp that this was
done to suppress any warning that would have otherwise been triggered.

I also wonder if inode->i_writecount is made inconsistent by the emergency
remount code.  I guess it is, but the damage is limited to a single inode
instead of being visible more globally like the mnt write count.  Probably not
really worth fixing.

BTW, this wasn't just a sparc thing.  I triggered it in about 3 seconds on a
plain old x86 machine.
