The enable_quota helper in btrfs/301 takes a mode argument ('n', 's',
or anything else) to switch between "no quota", "simple quota", and
"full quota" enable. Only the simple-quota path is ever exercised by
this test, so the dispatch is dead weight and the indirection just
obscures the actual btrfs command being run.
Inline the two call sites to call 'btrfs quota enable --simple'
directly and drop the helper.

When using simple quotas, an extent's EXTENT_OWNER_REF can long outlive
the subvolume that created it, since the extent can pick up additional
references that keep it alive after the owning subvolume is deleted.
Several lifecycle bugs around the owning qgroup arise from this:
1. Freeing an extent whose owner qgroup is gone: must not cause an
underflow nor a transaction abort.
2. Creating an extent in the same transaction that the owner subvolume
is deleted: the qgroup may already be gone by the time the squota
delta is recorded, leaving behind an EXTENT_OWNER_REF that points
at a qgroup that never accumulated a usage delta. Manually
re-creating that qgroup and then freeing the extent would underflow
it.
3. Destroying a live subvolume's qgroup while delayed refs for newly
allocated tree blocks have not yet flushed: rfer/excl read as 0,
so the destroy looked safe, but the alloc delta was silently lost.
4. Destroying the qgroup of a live subvolume whose data predates
'btrfs quota enable --simple': pre-existing extents are not
accounted (generation < qgroup_enable_gen), so rfer/excl stay 0
permanently and a usage-only check happily destroys a qgroup
belonging to a still-mounted, still-writeable subvolume.
Add four cases covering these scenarios. On a fixed kernel all four
'qgroup destroy' (and the re-create in case 2) operations are refused
because the subvol check rejects the request; on an unfixed kernel
they would succeed and leave the filesystem with broken accounting or
trigger a transaction abort.
