  qw app at its init stage reserve 2*sizeof(int) memory space for quota
and low_watermark shared variables, but both apps (qw and qwctl) assign
wrong address for low_watermark pointer (out of reserved memzone space)
due to wrong pointer arithmetic.

CID 30709 : Extra sizeof expression (SIZEOF_MISMATCH)
suspicious_pointer_arithmetic: Adding 4UL /* sizeof (int) */ to pointer
(unsigned int *)(*qw_memzone).addr of type unsigned int * is suspicious
because adding an integral value to this pointer automatically scales
that value by the size, 4 bytes, of the pointed-to type, unsigned int.
Most likely, sizeof (int) is extraneous and should be replaced with 1.

Coverity issue: 30709
Fixes: 1d6c3ee3321a ("examples/quota_watermark: initial import")

Applied, thanks

Is this example really useful?
