xfs: avoid nesting transactions in xfs_qm_scall_setqlim()

Lockdep reports:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.9.0+ #3 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
setquota/28368 is trying to acquire lock:
  (sb_internal){++++.?}, at: [<c11e8846>] xfs_trans_alloc+0x26/0x50

but task is already holding lock:
  (sb_internal){++++.?}, at: [<c11e8846>] xfs_trans_alloc+0x26/0x50

from xfs_qm_scall_setqlim()->xfs_dqread() when a dquot needs to be
allocated.

xfs_qm_scall_setqlim() is starting a transaction and then not
passing it into xfs_qm_dqet() and so it starts it's own transaction
when allocating the dquot.  Splat!

Fix this by not allocating the dquot in xfs_qm_scall_setqlim()
inside the setqlim transaction. This requires getting the dquot
first (and allocating it if necessary) then dropping and relocking
the dquot before joining it to the setqlim transaction.
