vfs: fix infinite loop caused by clone_mnt race
If clone_mnt() happens while mnt_make_readonly() is running, the
cloned mount might have MNT_WRITE_HOLD flag set, which results in
mnt_want_write() spinning forever on this mount.
Needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN to trigger deliberately and unlikely to happen
accidentally. But if it does happen it can hang the machine.
