Luca Boccassi f8a1943758 btrfs-util,rm-rf: clean up subvolumes without user_subvol_rm_allowed
Without CAP_SYS_ADMIN and without the 'user_subvol_rm_allowed' mount
option, BTRFS_IOC_SNAP_DESTROY is rejected with EPERM (or EROFS for a
read-only subvolume), so rm_rf_subvolume() left subvolumes behind.
test-btrfs thus accumulated leftover subvolumes in /var/tmp on every
unprivileged run on a btrfs filesystem.

An unprivileged owner can however clear the RDONLY flag, empty a
subvolume and rmdir() it. So clear the RDONLY flag on EPERM/EACCES too
(not just EROFS) to leave the subvolume writable, and let rm_rf() fall
through on EPERM/EACCES to empty the subvolume recursively and rmdir()
it, matching what rm_rf_at() already did.
