quota: Get rid of nested I_MUTEX_QUOTA locking subclass
So far i_mutex was ranking above dqonoff_mutex and i_mutex on quota files was special and ranking below dqonoff_mutex (and several other locks). However there's no real need for i_mutex on quota files to be special. IO on quota files is serialized by dqio_mutex anyway so we don't need to take i_mutex when writing to quota files. Other places where we take i_mutex on quota file can accomodate standard i_mutex lock ranking, we only need to change the lock ranking to be dqonoff_mutex > i_mutex which is a matter of changing documentation because there's no place which would enforce ordering in the other direction.

* Lock ordering (including related VFS locks) is the following:
- * i_mutex > dqonoff_sem > journal_lock > dqptr_sem > dquot->dq_lock >
+ * dqonoff_mutex > i_mutex > journal_lock > dqptr_sem > dquot->dq_lock >
* dqio_mutex
+ * dqonoff_mutex > i_mutex comes from dquot_quota_sync, dquot_enable, etc.
* The lock ordering of dqptr_sem imposed by quota code is only dqonoff_sem >
* dqptr_sem. But filesystem has to count with the fact that functions such as
* dquot_alloc_space() acquire dqptr_sem and they usually have to be called
* from inside a transaction to keep filesystem consistency after a crash. Also
* filesystems usually want to do some IO on dquot from ->mark_dirty which is
* called with dqptr_sem held.
- * i_mutex on quota files is special (it's below dqio_mutex)
