Thanks a lot of your review (I forgot to thank you in my other reply!).
Now, I haven't yet tested this properly, but I think that's a much simpler
and cleaner way of fixing this issue. Now, although it needs some
testing, I think the patch has one problem (see comment below).
Do you want me to send out a cleaned-up version[*] of it after some
testing (+ a similar fix for overlayfs)? Or would you rather handle this
yourself?
(I'll probably won't be able to look into it until mid-week.)
[*] Obviously, keeping a notice that you were the original author.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
I think this isn't correct -- the correct function to call in this case is
unnote_qf_name(), not note_qf_name(). The same comment applies to the
grpjquota parameter handling.
