Description of problem:
The purpose of READONLY=yes in /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root is to do two things:
1) make a bunch of bind mounts that provide a writable area for things that actually need to write
2) tell initscripts not to remount the root RW

In the current RHEL7 it does the first but it still remounts the root FS RW.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-9.49.15-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  echo "READONLY=yes" > /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root
2. reboot
3.

Actual results:
/ is mounted rw

Expected results:
/ ia mounrws ro
