I've been working on that this week.  Unfortunately, you have to convert
both quota_read and quota_write at the same time, it turns out.  At
least ext4_quota_write() uses the bdev's inode's page cache to back
the buffer_heads, so quota_read() and quota_write() are incoherent
with each other:

00017 gqr: mapping:00000000ee19acfb index:0x1 pos:0x1470 len:0x30
00017 4qw: mapping:000000007f9a811e index:0x18405 pos:0x1440 len:0x30

I don't know if there's a way around this.  Can't really use
read_mapping_folio() on the bdev's inode in generic_quota_read() -- the
blocks for a given page might be fragmented on disk.  I don't know
if there's a way to tell ext4_bread() to use the inode's page cache
instead of the bdev's.  And if we did that, would it even work as
being part of a transaction?
