dquot_transfer() will use the value - when file F changes owner from user A
to user B, then you need to decrement amount of space used by F from A's
quota usage and add that amount to B's quota usage. And the amount of space
is obtained via inode_get_bytes() which uses i_blocks and i_bytes. See
__dquot_transfer() in fs/quota/dquot.c for details.
