Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext4: quota_write cross block boundary behaviour

We always assume what dquot update result in changes in one data block
But ext4_quota_write() function may handle cross block boundary writes
In fact if this ever happen it will result in incorrect journal credits
reservation. And later bug_on triggering. As soon this never happen the
boundary cross loop is NOOP. In order to make things straight
let's remove this loop and assert cross boundary condition.
