Subject: [PATCH 3.15 026/109] quota: missing lock in dqcache_shrink_scan()

3.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Niu Yawei <yawei.niu@...il.com>

commit d68aab6b8f572406aa93b45ef6483934dd3b54a6 upstream.

Commit 1ab6c4997e04 (fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API)
accidentally removed locking from quota shrinker. Fix it -
dqcache_shrink_scan() should use dq_list_lock to protect the
scan on free_dquots list.

Fixes: 1ab6c4997e04a00c50c6d786c2f046adc0d1f5de
