Without splitting backing-dev.h this leads recursive includes.  With
the split of that file in your series we could make it inline again.

Another thing I've through of would be to always dynamically allocate
bdis instead of embedding them.  This would stop the need to have
backing-dev.h included in blkdev.h and would greatly simply the filesystems
that allocated bdis on their own.
