Hello Honza,

This is a solution that uses dquot_srcu to avoid race condition between
dqput() and dquot_mark_dquot_dirty(). I performed a 12+h fault injection
stress test (6 VMs, 4 test threads per VM) and have not found any problems.
And I tested the performance based on the next branch (5c875096d590), this
patch set didn't degrade performance, but rather had a ~5% improvement.

V1->V2:
Modify the solution to use dquot_srcu.
V2->V3:
Merge some patches, optimize descriptions.
Simplify solutions, and fix some spelling errors.

Baokun Li (5):
quota: factor out dquot_write_dquot()
quota: rename dquot_active() to inode_quota_active()
quota: add new helper dquot_active()
quota: fix dqput() to follow the guarantees dquot_srcu should provide
quota: simplify drop_dquot_ref()
