QFMT_VFS_V1 is actually the format ID of V2 quota format itself. This
is whats in fs/quota/quota_v2.c:
313 static struct quota_format_type v2r1_quota_format = {
314 .qf_fmt_id = QFMT_VFS_V1,
315 .qf_ops = &v2_format_ops,
316 .qf_owner = THIS_MODULE
317 };
So this patch does support the V2 format.

I also wanted to get input on this change to ext4_quota_on. With this
change, its not possible to use quotas at all without the 'quota'
feature flag set, which might break the current userspace. Do we want
to keep supporting current approach (where quotas can be turned on
with user specified files) as well? This change kinda forces users to
update userspace tools (e2fsprogs & quota-tools) as well.
