Hi Alexey:

Thanks for your comment.  What you propose would certainly work, but I prefer
my original patch because I think it makes the code easier to understand.
Using EXT2_CLUSTER_SIZE makes the unit in which space has been allocated
direct and explicit rather than asking the reader to first follow an
intermediate conversion from cluster to block units.  Also, other calls to
the quota_data_add/sub code in this and in another patch to be posted can be
handled more clearly using EXT2_CLUSTER_SIZE rather than EXT2FS_CLUSTER_RATIO,
and using the same style for all is better for readability.

Thanks,
Eric
