[PATCH] xfs: quotacheck failure can race with background inode inactivation

[Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

The background inode inactivation can attached dquots to inodes, but
this can race with a foreground quotacheck failure that leads to
disabling quotas and freeing the mp->m_quotainfo structure. The
background inode inactivation then tries to allocate a quota, tries
to dereference mp->m_quotainfo, and crashes like so:

XFS (loop1): Quotacheck: Unsuccessful (Error -5): Disabling quotas.
xfs filesystem being mounted at /root/syzkaller.qCVHXV/0/file0 supports timestamps until 2038 (0x7fffffff)

Prevent this race by flushing all the queued background inode
inactivations pending before purging all the cached dquots when
quotacheck fails.
