Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Fix hang on umount with quotas when journal is aborted

Call dquot_drop() from ext4_dquot_drop() even if we fail to start a
transaction. Otherwise we never get to dropping references to quota structures
from the inode and umount will hang indefinitely. Thanks to Payphone LIOU for
spotting the problem.

I'm not sure if this should go through ext4 patch queue or through Andrew.
It should not collide with anything so it probably does not matter much...
