The next patch changes the macro bio_set_dev() to associate a bio with a blkg based on the device set. However, dm creates a static bio to be used as the basis for cloning empty flush bios on creation. The bio_set_dev() call in alloc_dev() will cause problems with the next patch adding association to bio_set_dev() because the call is before the bdev is associated with a gendisk (bd_disk is %NULL). To get around this, set the device on the static bio every time and use that to clone to the other bios.
