quota: Don't write quota info in dquot_commit()

There's no reason to write quota info in dquot_commit(). The writing is a relict from the old days when we didn't have dquot_acquire() and dquot_release() and thus dquot_commit() could have created / removed quota structures from the file. These days dquot_commit() only updates usage counters / limits in quota structure and thus there's no need to write quota info. This also fixes an issue with journaling filesystem which didn't reserve enough space in the transaction for write of quota info (it could have been dirty at the time of dquot_commit() because of a race with other operation changing it).
