The cast is a workaround for a quite old qgroup bug, which will cause 
excl/rfer overflow to minus.

The remove of cast rfer/exel now is OK, as qgroup keeps maturing, 
especially after 4.2-rc1 rfer/exel will keep sane under most case
(exception will be qgroup reassign and subvolume deletion, but will not 
case minus value even under than case).

But I'm not a fan to remove it now.
As qgroup still has a known huge bug for the qg->reserved part, we are 
aware of it and working on it actively.

So for such cleanup, I'd prefer to do it when we rework the accounting 
part of qgroup.

Thanks,
Qu
