We only walk the list during:

  - mount time for quotacheck
  - umount time
  - full quotaoff

in the first two cases lookups can't happen at all, and in the latter
they at least shoudn't get this far.  So I really don't think it's
a problem.  And the full quotaoff even for quota accounting is something
I'd like to remove sooner or later, it just causes a lot of corner cases
for very little gain.
