We haven't fixed the VFS issues yet.  In some later kernel we just
changed the assert to a warn on for now until the issue is sorted out.

It looks somehwat dangerous for me.  For now I would just comment
out the assert or change it to a WARN_ON as in the newer kernels.

I've recently started looking at that area in the VFS again and I'll
hopefully make progress on a solution that sets MS_RDONLY at the
correct time.
