This patchset has several improvements around the qgroups user-facing
API. It introduces two new ioctls for creating, and removing qgroups.
These ioctls have a new args structure that allows passing flags, and
some reserved fields for future expansion. The ioctls prevent some
operations around level-0 qgroups as well.
The create operation prevents the creation of level-0 qgroups for
subvolumes that do not exist. The delete operations prevents the
deletion of level-0 qgroups that reference active volumes.
In adddition, it adds a mount option "qgroup_auto_cleanup".
When this mount option is specified, qgroups will automatically
be cleaned up at volume deletion time. The reason this is a mount
option over a default behaviour is to avoid breaking old scripts
that rely on the behaviour of the existing APIs. Users can opt
into the new behaviour, as opposed it being an automated
trigger on newly created qgroups. Later on, we can introduce
a flag to subvol / qgroup create that marks the qgroup as
automatically created, and delete the qgroup as automatically
as well.
Changes since v1:
* Remove creation of level-0 qgroups without subvol
* Add deprecation message for old API
