  Sorry if someone already refused this (I didn't follow the previous
discussion too closely) but: Looking at the code I see no reason why
ext4_claim_free_blocks needs i_block_reservation_lock. In fact mballoc
calls this function without the lock. So could not we just compute
'total' under the lock, release it, reserve quota and then claim free
blocks? You'd get rid of undoing the block reservation and obtain quota
and blocks in the usual order...
