As Honza said, remove_inode_dquot_ref() currently does not release the last dquot reference but instead adds the dquot to tofree_head list. This is because dqput() can sleep while dropping of the last dquot reference (writing back the dquot and calling ->release_dquot()) and that must not happen under dq_list_lock. Now that dqput() queues the final dquot cleanup into a workqueue, remove_inode_dquot_ref() can call dqput() unconditionally and we can significantly simplify it. Here we open code the simplified code of remove_inode_dquot_ref() into remove_dquot_ref() and remove the function put_dquot_list() which is no longer used.
