There's race where VFS remount code can race with unlink and result will
be unlinked file in orphan list on read-only filesystem. Christian seems to
be hitting this race. Miklos Szeredi has patches
(http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1108.3/00169.html) to
mostly close this hole but they're waiting for Al to find time to look at
them / merge them AFAIK.

While these patches are still pending review, are they "dangerous" to 
apply? If not, I'd like to volunteer as a tester :-)

  As far as I saw them, they should be pretty safe. So feel free to test
them.

I've applied them to -rc5. It might take a few days untile the message 
occurs. Or, until "nothing happens", since I have the patches applied :-)

Meanwhile I'm trying to reproduce this issue on an x86 machine, but 
haven't succeeded yet.

Thanks,
Christian.
