This patch makes the quota subsystem only report once that a
particular user/group has exceeded their allotted quota.
Previously, it was possible for a program to continuously try
exceeding quota (despite receiving EDQUOT) and in turn trigger
gfs2 to issue a kernel log message about quota exceed. In theory,
this could get out of hand and flood the log and the filesystem
hosting the log files.
Resolves: rhbz#1174295
