Subject: ext4_da_update_reserve_space warning fix not in stable

We are hitting the following warning in the field pretty frequently on 
the latest 3.10 stable kernel:
[11708.763067] WARNING: at fs/ext4/inode.c:363 
ext4_da_update_reserve_space+0x261/0x280 [ext4]()

The issue was resolved via "ext4: fix warning in 
ext4_da_update_reserve_space()" (7d7345322d60ed), but the fix was not 
submitted as a stable update for 3.10. I was wondering if there's a 
reason why this was not done, or if it was just overlooked?

The patch appears to have a dependency on "quota: provide interface for 
readding allocated space into reserved space" (1c8924eb106c1ac), so I 
think both would need to be submitted if you feel it's possible.

Thanks
Josh
