I'll have a look at this tomorrow, but I think this is fairly
immediately resolvable -- I don't see any immediate reason we need to
do full enforcement here. The only interesting thing we really need
to do in the put_path is the voluntary return of quota, which -- if we
need to do it -- we will get to do since that occurs iff the entity is
no longe runnable and actually getting a put().
