Which is the same situation currently for every filesystem that
supports quotas, regardless of the implementation infrastructure.

All the more reason you should be adding the same guard to all the
other filesystems....

All i'm asking you to do is to make this check in a way that all
filesystems that implement quotas will execute it. Don't leave
landmines with security implications around - make sure all
filesystems have the same protections.
