Subject: [PATCH 2/3] quota: add the option to not fail with EDQUOT in block
 allocation

To simplify metadata tracking for delalloc writes, ext4
will simply claim metadata blocks at allocation time, without
first speculatively reserving the worst case and then freeing
what was not used.

To do this, we need a mechanism to track allocations in
the quota subsystem, but potentially allow that allocation
to actually go over quota.

This patch adds a DQUOT_SPACE_NOFAIL flag and function
variants for this purpose.
