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.
