Bleh... ok, I marched through that swamp and refactored all that goopy
dqget crud into a ton of smaller helper functions that only do one thing,
killed off QMOPT_NEXT, and renamed DQALLOC to make it obvious it's for
dqget only.  So now we have...

xfs_qm_dqget (get dquot based on id/type, can take XFS_DQGET_DQALLOC to
allocate if not present)

xfs_qm_dqget_inode (get dquot based on inode/type, contains all the
locking and looping mess to one function, can take _DQALLOC)

xfs_qm_dqget_next (get this or the next higher dquot, no DQALLOC allowed
here, contain all the NEXT looping mess to this function)

xfs_qm_dqread (read dquot from disk and return incore dquot, do not
check in radix tree, no longer takes DQALLOC)

xfs_qm_dqiterate (iterate all the dquots for the given quota type)

I also cleaned out a bunch of unnecessary parameters and other junk,
and refactored mount time quotacheck so that it doesn't need to
ILOCK_EXCL every inode in the system.  In theory that should be fine
because we only needed ILOCK_EXCL to make sure nobody can chown/chproj
the inode on us, which shouldn't be happening during mount.

As a bonus I realized that scrub and repair don't actually need to
maintain the ilock once they're done fixing all of the things that can
cause dqget to fail, so the ILOCKED flag goes away entirely.

Will have a revised megaseries out on the list ideally some time before
LSF starts... though it did add another 12 patches to the review queue. :P
