Now that we have this be a separate helper only take the down_read(&sb->s_umount) lock since we're only interested in checking whether the super block is currently read-only and blocking any writers from changing it. Essentially, checking that the super block is read-only has the advantage that we can avoid having to go into the slowpath and through MNT_WRITE_HOLD and can simply set the read-only flag on the mount in set_mount_attributes().
