quota: send messages via netlink
Implement sending of quota messages via netlink interface. The advantage
is that in userspace we can better decide what to do with the message - for
example display a dialogue in your X session or just write the message to
the console. As a bonus, we can get rid of problems with console locking
deep inside filesystem code once we remove the old printing mechanism.
