Actually this is a problem. Because this issue makes quota just a fake
limit. I've done this test for ext4 and was satisfied with result,
but was too lazy to perform it on ext3/2 :(
At least we have to have testcase for that in xfstest-qa.
It seems that private page_mkwrite will be sufficient.
I'm working on that.
