Ok, so if I understand correctly, you're setting quotas with the kernel
client but actually using ceph-fuse on CentOS7 (I'm assuming a Luminous
cluster).  This should work fine for the fuse-client, but please note
that the kernel client will not respect quotas.

Anyway, the ideal solution for this would be for the kernel to not set
the xattr if the cluster doesn't support the new quotas format
introduced in Mimic.  Unfortunately, the only way we have to find that
out is to set the xattr and see if we get a snap_realm.
