Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] quota: Add mountpath based quota support

Current quotactl syscall uses a path to a block device to specify the
filesystem to work on which makes it unsuitable for filesystems that
do not have a block device. This series adds a new syscall quotactl_path()
which replaces the path to the block device with a mountpath, but otherwise
behaves like original quotactl.

This is done to add quota support to UBIFS. UBIFS quota support has been
posted several times with different approaches to put the mountpath into
the existing quotactl() syscall until it has been suggested to make it a
new syscall instead, so here it is.

I'm not posting the full UBIFS quota series here as it remains unchanged
and I'd like to get feedback to the new syscall first. For those interested
the most recent series can be found here: https://lwn.net/Articles/810463/

Changes since (implicit) v1:
- Ignore second path argument to Q_QUOTAON. With this quotactl_path() can
  only do the Q_QUOTAON operation on filesystems which use hidden inodes
  for quota metadata storage
- Drop unnecessary quotactl_cmd_onoff() check

  quota: Add mountpath based quota support
  quota: wire up quotactl_path
