Here is a patch that accomplishes the job. tested to work with
some simple use cases. check if this works for you. If it does
than we will have to think through all the edge cases and make it
acceptable.

Here is a small program that setsup a mount to enable inheritance
of the RW attribute of the mount.

-------------------------------------------------------
my testcase is
a) setup a shared mount
mkdir shared
mount --bind shared shared
mount --make-shared shared
b) setup a slave mount
mkdir slave
mount --bind shared slave
mount --make-slave slave
c) make the slave readonly
mount -o bind,remount,ro slave
d) setup the slave to for passing one its readonly attribute
gcc pass_on_readonly.c -o pass_on_readonly
./pass_on_readonly slave
e) create a small mount tree to bind
mkdir tmpbind
mount --bind tmpbind tmpbind
mkdir -p tmpbind/subtmpbind
mount --bind tmpbind/subtmpbind tmpbind/subtmpbind
f) now mount this tree on the shared mount
mkdir shared/sub
mount --rbind tmpbind shared/sub
e) verify if the mounts under slave/sub are all readonly.
