Coverity reports that conditions checking quota limits in ext4_statfs() contain dead code. Indeed it is right and current conditions can be simplified.

I've also grabbed 57c32ea42f8e ("ext4: choose hardlimit when softlimit is larger than hardlimit in ext4_statfs_project()") which fixes a user visible issue and introduces the issue fixed by this patch.
Both queued for 5.5 and 5.4.
I'm not quite sure that this patch is stable material.
