[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 4/4] quota: Verify flags passed to Q_SETINFO

Currently flags passed via Q_SETINFO were just stored. This makes it
hard to add new flags since in theory userspace could be just setting /
clearing random flags. Since currently there is only one userspace
settable flag and that is somewhat obscure flags only for ancient v1
quota format, I'm reasonably sure noone operates these flags and
hopefully we are fine just adding the check that passed flags are sane.
If we indeed find some userspace program that gets broken by the strict
check, we can always remove it again.
