Yeah, so VFS quotas use ESRCH when quota for particular fs is not enabled
(while ENOENT means device you passed in doesn't exist). So probably a
solution that keeps XFS and VFS interfaces most selfconsistent is to return
ENOENT from Q_XGETNEXTQUOTA and ESRCH from Q_GETNEXTQUOTA. I'll update your
patches in this sense in the comments and changelogs. But XFS patches
(which I don't carry) need updating the actual code...
