dquot: cleanup space allocation / freeing routines
Get rid of the alloc_space, free_space, reserve_space, claim_space and release_rsv dquot operations - they are always called from the filesystem and if a filesystem really needs their own (which none currently does) it can just call into it's own routine directly. Move shared logic into the common __dquot_alloc_space, dquot_claim_space_nodirty and __dquot_free_space low-level methods, and rationalize the wrappers around it to move as much as possible code into the common block for CONFIG_QUOTA vs not. Also rename all these helpers to be named dquot_* instead of vfs_dq_*. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
