So here, we grab the *first* one that is running, and only that, to
populate the defaults ...

... including the time limits.

Here, you set the defaults for *each* one that is running, in succession.
But xfs_qm_set_defquota() sets global time limits, so you may overwrite
what you set earlier, for the previous type.  i.e. it's last one wins.

So before, the global grace period was set by the first quota found running;
now it will be set by the last quota found running.  That's probably a difference
in behavior you didn't intend.

(It's crazy behavior to start with, though; see my other email in this thread,
but we probably shouldn't trade crazy(1) for crazy(1);  we should keep crazy(1)
and fix it properly at some point)
