[REVIEW][PATCH 2/5] mnt: Move the test for MNT_LOCK_READONLY from change_mount_flags into do_remount

[ebiederm-aS9lmoZGLiVWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org (Eric W. Biederman)]

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.
