Just to let you you know what I think is still needed before 0.4.4 :
o memory allocation error paths audit (mostly done in pre9)
The pathcheckers use sgio, right? The block layer sg io code does some
allocations with GFP_KERNEL (bio_copy_user and bio_map_user for
example), so if you are relying on that path for failback I think you
will be in trouble.
o don't loose events in multipathd
o /dev/shm/cache has the same security problems you spotted in /tmp
I guess this last item will help justify your upgrading to 0.4.4
