Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext3: Don't call dquot_free_block() if we don't update
 anything

dquot_free_block() is called in the end of ext3_new_blocks() and updates
information of the inode structure. However, this update is not necessary
if the number of blocks we requested is equal to the number of
allocated blocks.
