It will clash with those, but they completely drops the call to
vfs_permission() in here.  As I think about this again, we really don't
care about r/o bind mounts here, _only_ the vfs permissions.  

If it is a r/o bind mount we want to be able to mount something writable
on top of it because we're never actually writing to the mount *itself*.

I think this patch can just go away now.
