This is a temporary hack until we have some kind of inode flag
inheritance mechanism as mentioned in the commit log, correct?

Something like what we do for !CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA just a few lines below
might be a bit nicer. Then we can have a slightly more useful error

Missing period in both error messages above. ;)
