Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix unreachable BIGTIME check in dquot flush validation

The dqp->q_id == 0 check inside the XFS_DQTYPE_BIGTIME block is
unreachable because root dquots return successfully earlier. Reject root
dquots with XFS_DQTYPE_BIGTIME before that early return, preserving the
intended validation and removing the unreachable condition.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
