SubjectRe: [ 110/171 ] vfs: Add a mount flag to lock read only bind mounts

Mounting only with privilege in the user namespace (where we use
MNT_LOCK_READONLY) only dates back to 3.8 so this is not needed in 3.6.

Not that it should do any harm, but there doesn't seem to be much point
in backporting this one.
