Same comments as for XFS version apply here. Furthermore:

Is there a need for compat version of this structure? Everything is
naturally aligned and the size is a multiple of 8 bytes. But these things
keep surprising me... Added CC to linux-api in a hope that there's someone
who definitely knows.
On a side note when I have API people attention: AFAIU we need
struct compat_if_dqblk (defined in fs/quota/compat.c) because its size is
not multiple of 8 bytes, right? But what is then then reason for get_user()
/ put_user() when the structure is copied into userspace (see below)?
copy_in_user() should have copied everything...
if (copy_in_user(compat_dqblk, dqblk, sizeof(*compat_dqblk)) ||
get_user(data, &dqblk->dqb_valid) ||
put_user(data, &compat_dqblk->dqb_valid))
ret = -EFAULT;
