This is no longer true in upstream as of commit 5d23515be669 ("btrfs:
Move qgroup rescan on quota enable to btrfs_quota_enable"). Hence my
asking about this. I guess if we make it unconditional it won't increase
the complexity, but the original code which was only run during qgroup
enable was rather iffy I Just don't want to repeat this.
