I can see that there is a problem in the gfs2 quota code, but this
unfortunately doesn't look like an acceptable fix. A better approach
would be to use proper reference counting for gfs2_quota_data objects.
In this case, gfs2_quota_sync() is still holding a reference, so the
underlying object shouldn't be freed.

Fixing this properly will require more than a handful of lines.
