  This can happen also when quotaon() races with __dquot_initialize...

  We should check inode->i_dquot[cnt] instead because got[cnt] just got zeroed
three lines above... In the end I have the following patch:

commit 5ccc70ff4af855a85d7f1d7c843a6eea10693329

quota: Fix possible oops in __dquot_initialize()
    
When quotaon(8) races with __dquot_initialize() or dqget() fails because
of EIO, ENOSPC, or similar error, we could possibly dereference NULL pointer
in inode->i_dquot[cnt]. Add proper checking.
