Your patch must not be against HEAD, because in HEAD we have:
if ((dq->dq_flags & DQ_MOD) == 0)
return (0);
if ((dqvp = dq->dq_ump->um_quotas[dq->dq_type]) == NULLVP)
panic("dqsync: file");
(void) vn_start_secondary_write(dqvp, &mp, V_WAIT);
if (vp != dqvp)
vn_lock(dqvp, LK_EXCLUSIVE | LK_RETRY, td);
As you can see DQ_MOD is checked before vn_start_secondary_write().
