Commit 2bc5565286121d2a77ccd728eb3484dff2035b58 (Btrfs: don't update atime on
RO subvolumes) ensures that the access time of an inode is not updated when
the inode lives in a read-only subvolume.
However, if a directory on a read-only subvolume is accessed, the atime is
updated. This results in a write operation to a read-only subvolume. I
believe that access times should never be updated on read-only subvolumes.

To reproduce:

 # mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/dm-3
 (...)
 # mount /dev/dm-3 /mnt
 # btrfs subvol create /mnt/sub
 	Create subvolume '/mnt/sub'
 # mkdir /mnt/sub/dir
 # echo "abc" > /mnt/sub/dir/file
 # btrfs subvol snapshot -r /mnt/sub /mnt/rosnap
 	Create a readonly snapshot of '/mnt/sub' in '/mnt/rosnap'
 # stat /mnt/rosnap/dir
 	File: `/mnt/rosnap/dir'
 	Size: 8         Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   directory
