[RFC][PATCH 03/20] Add vfsmount writer count

[Dave Hansen]

This allows a vfsmount to keep track of how many instances
of files open for write there are at a given time.

A mount can refuse to allow writers.  This can be because
it is a read-only bind mount, or for other functionality
in the future.  A mount can also now refuse to make a
transition from r/w to r/o whenever it has currently active
writers.

Note that this version of the patch does not use an explicit
mount flag.  It is redundant along with the information in
the reference count.

The WARN_ON()s can go away before this is merged into mainline
provided it has had some time in -mm or equivalent.
