Subject: r/o bind mounts: make access() use mnt check
From: Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
It is OK to let access() go without using a mnt_want/drop_write() pair because
it doesn't actually do writes to the filesystem, and it is inherently racy
anyway. This is a rare case when it is OK to use __mnt_is_readonly()
directly.
