Yup - ro-snapshots is a big problem in 3.17.  You can probably recover now by:
1.  Update your kernel to 3.17.2 - that takes care of all the big
known 3.16/17 issues in general.
2.  Run btrfs check using btrfs-tools 3.17.  That can clean up the
broken snapshots in your filesystem.

That is fairly likely to get your filesystem working normally again.
It worked for me.  I was getting some balance issues when trying to
add another device and I'm not sure if 3.17.2 totally fixed that - I
ended up cancelling the balance and it will be a while before I have
to balance this particular filesystem again, so I'll just hold off and
hope things stabilize.
