I merely copied here text used for normal remounting (i. e. MS_REMOUNT without MS_BIND).
But okay, I changed anyway.

I don't like reference to statfs here.

statfs returns both superblock and per-mount
flags. And you cannot know which is which. See
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.17-rc2/source/fs/statfs.c#L51
.

So, I removed statfs reference and kept everything else.

I don't know how locked mounts work. So, if you have something to
add, then you can send separate patch.

I addressed all your points except for mentioned above.
