Missing Signed-off-by from Dongsheng? Also yours has 'i' there.

This is wrong. You shouldn't mess with quota internals like that. You
should use dquot_enable() (and you even implemented ->read_file_info()
format operation to properly fill in info structure).  So you just need to
change dquot_enable() to cope with situation when inode is NULL. Probably
create a variant dquot_enable_sb() that gets superblock pointer instead of
inode and then factor out bits from vfs_load_quota_inode() that are needed
also for the case without quota inode.

Usually, we have usrquota, grpquota, prjquota mount options to enable
individual quota types. It would seem better not to differ from these
unless you have a good reason.
