gfs2: check for no eligible quota changes

Before this patch, function gfs2_quota_sync would always allocate a page
full of memory and increment its quota sync generation number. This
happened even when the system was completely idle or if no blocks were
allocated or quota changes made. This patch adds function qd_changed
to determine if any changes have been made that qualify for a
quota sync. If not, it avoids the memory allocation and bumping the
generation number, along with all the additional work it would do.
