Hey Christoph,

This series improves handling of large number of dquots.  It replaced
the direct recycling of dquots from the freelist with a shrinker, removes
the upper bound of dquots, and uses per-filesystem structures for all
quota state, including switching from a hash to a radix-tree for lookups.

For repeated lookups of dquots out of a large pool I see improvements
betwen 50% and 500% compared to the previous code.  All these tests
have been performed with Q_XQUOTASYNC already disabled as it would
change the result to much for both the old and new code.

Note that the first patch probably is a candidate for Linux 3.3, as
the previous quota updates caused a lock order reversal in the old
quota reclaim code.  See the actual patch for more details.

These conflict with Chandra's project quota patches.  I've started
looking at them again, but I am a little uncomfortable with the change
to the superblock...  could I get your opinion of that while I take a
look at these?

Thanks,
	Ben
