btrfs: add quota override flag to enable quota override for CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
This patch introduces the quota override flag to btrfs_fs_info, and a change to quota limit checking code to temporarily allow for quota to be overridden for processes with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. 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. Eventually, we may want to add the idea of an operator-specific quota, operator reserved space, or something else to allow for administrative override, but this is perhaps the simplest solution.
