Well, this doesn't happen on mount but on Q_QUOTAON quotactl and only when
INCOMPAT_QUOTA feature is not enabled (i.e., we are using legacy quota
support). Also the flags are not expected to be set as userspace
quota-tools (most notably quotacheck) need to write to quota files when
kernel isn't using them.

Remember we are in the case of legacy quota support. In that case e2fsck
doesn't touch quota files and quotacheck is used instead to put quota files
in sync with what is in the filesystem. Also tools like setquota directly
modify quota files when kernel isn't using them. So we must clear the flags
on quotaoff to keep all this working.
