This patch allows processes with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to exceed the qgroup
limit. It's useful for administrative programs, such as log rotation,
that may need to temporarily use more disk space in order to free up
a greater amount of overall disk space without yielding more disk
space to the rest of userland.
