Subject[090/165] ext4: Handle -EDQUOT error on write
2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

commit 1db913823c0f8360fccbd24ca67eb073966a5ffd upstream (as of v2.6.33-rc6)

We need to release the journal before we do a write_inode. Otherwise
we could deadlock.
