Cover letter [RFC][PATCH 0/5] do remounts without consulting sb->s_files list

This series implements the ability to check a superblock for writers without consulting the sb->s_files list. This is on Al and Christoph's wishlist as something that can happen now that we have r/o bind mounts merged.

Trond, I'm ccing you because there is some minor NFS touching going on here.
