commit 07b645589dcd ("mnt: Move the test for MNT_LOCK_READONLY from
change_mount_flags into do_remount")
There are no races as locked mount flags are guaranteed to never change.
Moving the test into do_remount makes it more visible, and ensures all
filesystem remounts pass the MNT_LOCK_READONLY permission check. This
second case is not an issue today as filesystem remounts are guarded
by capable(CAP_DAC_ADMIN) and thus will always fail in less privileged
mount namespaces, but it could become an issue in the future.
