No -- all that the remount,ro sees is that there's a fd still open for
write. It has no idea if or when that fd is going to get closed, so it
should fail. Returning -EBUSY is the only thing it _can_ do: waiting
for the fs to be remountable might wait forever.
So the fs is still writable after that point.
