    Unionfs: fix readonly nfs2/3 permission handling
    
    In unionfs_permission: NFSv2/3 return EACCES on readonly-exported, locally
    readonly-mounted file systems, instead of EROFS like other file systems do.
    So we have no choice here but to intercept this and ignore it for NFS
    branches marked readonly.  Specifically, we avoid using NFS's own "broken"
    ->permission method, and rely on generic_permission() to do basic checking
    for us.
