So unfortunately this is true only for the block copy operation. Active
block commit will still continue using the image in read-only mode.

Also I'm afraid I remember why this code does not have any security
labeling code. The mirror may in fact contain parts of the original
backing chain (if the --reuse-external flag was used) and in that case
we'd not be able to tell which ones we want to remove labelling from, so
the only "safe" operation is to remove labels/locks from the top image
only.

So, here this must return the security labels to readonly state rather
than removing it completely as this is still used.

I'm sorry these points didn't occur to me when we were discussing this
code :/
