And this is a wrong fix. It will break the existing semantics of mixed
ro/rw mounts. With this change, it's not possible to mount the first
subvol ro and the rest with rw. The mount succeeds, but does not lead to
the right result.

At least now I have a better idea where the race happens, btrfs_subvol
between vfs_kern_mount and the remount.
