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.
