    quota: Get rid of nested I_MUTEX_QUOTA locking subclass · a80b12c3
    Jan Kara authored
    So far i_mutex was ranking above dqonoff_mutex and i_mutex on quota files
    was special and ranking below dqonoff_mutex (and several other locks).
    However there's no real need for i_mutex on quota files to be special.
    IO on quota files is serialized by dqio_mutex anyway so we don't need to
    take i_mutex when writing to quota files. Other places where we take i_mutex
    on quota file can accomodate standard i_mutex lock ranking, we only need
    to change the lock ranking to be dqonoff_mutex > i_mutex which is a matter
    of changing documentation because there's no place which would enforce
    ordering in the other direction.
