The patch looks good to me. You can add:

Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

Although I would note that here you take effort not to recycle bdi->id so
that you don't flush wrong devices while in patch 4 you take pretty lax
approach to feeding garbage into the writeback system. So these two don't
quite match to me...
