Yes, that's one reason why we can't use the quota sync callback for XFS,
as we need to do it after the actual sync.  Then again I'm not even
sure we need to bother with a callout from the writeback code.
Following the model of all other quota code filesystems using quota
should probably just call it from their ->sync_fs method.  Note that
this allows allows other optimizations for using the generic quota
code.  dquot_quota_sync currently calls ->sync_fs by itself which
could be optimized away by that design.
