  Because sometime in the dark past (2.4 days I believe), I used
mark_inode_dirty in quota functions (not sure whether there even were
different inode dirty flags back then) and it stayed this way upto now.
mark_inode_dirty_sync() is of course more appropriate for quota code these
days. Cleanup is on its way...
