The quotactl manpage documents EFAULT as error code for invalid addr or
special argument, so we really should return -EFAULT here.

Existing quotactl gets this wrong as well:

if (!special) {
if (cmds == Q_SYNC)
return quota_sync_all(type);
return -ENODEV;
}

Should we fix this or is there userspace code that is confused by a changed
return value?
