It's better to just have:

CC: stable@...r.kernel.org

here. Fixes tag pointing to kernel release is not very useful.

I'd already provide min_val and the string for the message here as well (as
you do in patch 2). It is less churn in the next patch and free blocks
checking actually needs that as well. See below.

The free block should actually be > QT_TREEOFF so I'd add the check to
do_check_range().

Also rather than having check_free_block(), I'd provide a helper function
like check_dquot_block_header() which will check only free blocks pointers
now and in later patches you can add other checks there.
