[patch 03/22] r/o bind mounts: stub functions

From: Dave Hansen <hansendc at us.ibm.com>
This patch adds two function mnt_want_write() and
mnt_drop_write(). These are used like a lock pair around
and fs operations that might cause a write to the filesystem.
Before these can become useful, we must first cover each
place in the VFS where writes are performed with a
want/drop pair. When that is complete, we can actually
introduce code that will safely check the counts before
allowing r/w<->r/o transitions to occur.
Note that we put the linux/fs.h #include as far down in
mount.h as possible. This is to keep the mount.h->fs.h->
sched.h->mount.h include dependency from biting us.
