ext4: don't clear SB_RDONLY when remounting r/w until quota is re-enabled

When a file system currently mounted read/only is remounted
read/write, if we clear the SB_RDONLY flag too early, before the quota
is initialized, and there is another process/thread constantly
attempting to create a directory, it's possible to trigger the

	WARN_ON_ONCE(dquot_initialize_needed(inode));

in ext4_xattr_block_set(), with the following stack trace:
