[PATCH] remove sb->s_files and file_list_lock usage in dquot.c

Iterate over sb->s_inodes instead of sb->s_files in add_dquot_ref.  This
reduces list search and lock hold time aswell as getting rid of one of the
few uses of file_list_lock which Ingo identified as a scalability problem.

Previously we called dq_op->initialize for every inode handing of a
writeable file that wasn't initialized before.  Now we're calling it for
every inode that has a non-zero i_writecount, aka a writeable file
descriptor refering to it.

Thanks a lot to Jan Kara for running this patch through his quota test
harness.
