GFS2: quota allows exceeding hard limit
Immediately after being synced to disk, cached quotas are zeroed out and a subsequent access of the cached quotas results in incorrect zero values. This meant that gfs2 assumed the actual usage to be the zero (or near-zero) usage values it found in the cached quotas and comparison against warn/limits never triggered a quota violation. This patch adds a new flag QDF_REFRESH that is set after a sync so that the cached quotas are forcefully refreshed from disk on a subsequent access on seeing this flag set.
