Found a common case where remounting the root filesystem readonly would take
a long time (15 to 30 seconds). This gets it down to fractions of a second
instead.

        - Clean up the remount readonly code to do less passes and not to sleep
          as long.

        - Flush out delayed write buffers on a remount readonly before flushing
          inodes, there are cases where inode buffers are in the delayed write
          queue and will not be flushed until the pagebuf daemon finds them 
unless
          we push here. Also remove the messages about remounting readonly or
          readwrite.
