Now when dqput() drops the last reference count, it will call

no other user will use the dquot after the last reference count is dropped,
so we don't need to call synchronize_srcu(&dquot_srcu) in drop_dquot_ref()
and remove the corresponding logic directly to simplify the code.
Nice simplification!  It is also important that dqput() now cannot sleep
which was another reason for the logic with tofree_head in
remove_inode_dquot_ref().

I don't understand this sentence very well, so I would appreciate it

if you could explain it in detail. 🤔

Probably this is good to mention in the
changelog.

I think you can also just drop remove_inode_dquot_ref() as it is trivial
now and inline it at its only callsite...

Sure, I'll just remove it in the next version and inline the only remaining code
into remove_dquot_ref().

Thanks!
