btrfs: qgroup: do not check qgroup inherit if qgroup is disabled

[BUG]
After kernel commit 86211eea8ae1 ("btrfs: qgroup: validate
btrfs_qgroup_inherit parameter"), user space tool snapper will fail to
create snapshot using its timeline feature.

[CAUSE]
It turns out that, if using timeline snapper would unconditionally pass
btrfs_qgroup_inherit parameter (assigning the new snapshot to qgroup 1/0)
for snapshot creation.

In that case, since qgroup is disabled there would be no qgroup 1/0, and
btrfs_qgroup_check_inherit() would return -ENOENT and fail the whole
snapshot creation.

[FIX]
Just skip the check if qgroup is not enabled.
This is to keep the older behavior for user space tools, as if the
kernel behavior changed for user space, it is a regression of kernel.

Thankfully snapper is also fixing the behavior by detecting if qgroup is
running in the first place, so the effect should not be that huge.
