[PATCH] Quota locking fixes
From: Jan Kara <jack@ucw.cz> Change locking rules in quota code to fix lock ordering especially wrt journal lock. Also some unnecessary spinlocking is removed. The locking changes are mainly: dqptr_sem, dqio_sem are acquired only when transaction is already started, dqonoff_sem before a transaction is started. This change requires some callbacks to ext3 (also implemented in this patch) to start transaction before the locks are acquired.
