Subject: [patch 022/120] Forbid user to change file flags on quota files

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

Forbid user from changing file flags on quota files.  User has no bussiness
in playing with these flags when quota is on.  Furthermore there is a
remote possibility of deadlock due to a lock inversion between quota file's
i_mutex and transaction's start (i_mutex for quota file is locked only when
trasaction is started in quota operations) in ext3 and ext4.
