Invalidate sb->s_bdev on remount,ro.

Fixes a problem reported by Jorge Boncompte who is seeing corruption
trying to snapshot a minix filesystem image.  Some filesystems modify
their metadata via a path other than the bdev buffer cache (eg.  they may
use a private linear mapping for their metadata, or implement directories
in pagecache, etc).  Also, file data modifications usually go to the bdev
via their own mappings.

These updates are not coherent with buffercache IO (eg.  via /dev/bdev)
and never have been.  However there could be a reasonable expectation that
after a mount -oremount,ro operation then the buffercache should
subsequently be coherent with previous filesystem modifications.

So invalidate the bdev mappings on a remount,ro operation to provide a
coherency point.

The problem was exposed when we switched the old rd to brd because old rd
didn't really function like a normal block device and updates to rd via
mappings other than the buffercache would still end up going into its
buffercache.  But the same problem has always affected other "normal"
block devices, including loop.
