Hm, I talked to Dave on IRC, and after some spelunking we unearthed that
the whole point of calling _dqread directly was to obtain an uncached
dquot that isn't linked into any lists/radix trees/caches/whatever.
That way if we end up doing quotacheck we won't have any dquots in
memory that are now garbage.

>From that perspective it's not as big of a jump to re-hide dqread and
add a _dqget_uncached that has a much better comment justifying why it's
there and who uses it...
