Ok, looking at this closer, it seems like this could be a problem after all.
Starving the quota syncing thread doesn't seem like a great idea either.
The following patch changes things to use a workqueue. Really, this doesn't
seem like a big deal anyway - the workqueue has reasonable overhead.
I could add this on top of my upstream branch along with a revert of the
'mm: Export pdflush_operation()' patch, or I could work this into the patch
series so we never get the export patch in the 1st place.

ocfs2/quota: Use workqueue for periodic syncing instead of pdflush()
Using pdflush_operation() for this was potentially buggy - we could get into
a situation where the work function never gets run. Instead, just create a
workqueue, 'o2quota' and just constantly queue a delayed work item. The
impact of this should be pretty minimal.
