Ok,  I could move i_blocks update under the protection of dq_data_lock.
I wasn't clear if we need that protection before.:)  The intention to
move inode_add_bytes(inode, number) out of the __dquot_alloc_space() is
to avoid doing i_blocks update for dquot block reservation.

Thanks for point this out, I will make the change.
