Not that I've noticed, but I haven't explicitly profiled it or anything.
My understanding is the percpu variant of the rwsem should make read
acquisition extremely cheap at the cost of more expensive write
acquisition (which pretty much fits use cases like freeze, quotaoff,
etc.). I can try a file create/remove workload or something on a high
cpu count box and see if there's a noticeable effect..

We could, though I'd probably prefer to use something like
XFS_IS_QUOTA_RUNNING() as a conditional rather than an ifdef. Of course,
that means we'd have to be careful that turning quotaoff doesn't
actually break the transaction tracking. Regardless, I'm not really sure
it's worth sprinkling that logic around to avoid a per-transaction
percpu read lock.
