When we hit an error when enabling quotas and setting inode flags, we do not properly shutdown quota subsystem despite returning error from Q_QUOTAON quotactl. This can lead to some odd situations like kernel using quota file while it is still writeable for userspace. Make sure we properly cleanup the quota subsystem in case of error.
