We don't have bdev opened exclusive there. And I'm rather dubious about the need to do set_blocksize() anywhere in btrfs, to be honest - there's some access to page cache of underlying block devices in there, but it's nowhere near the hot paths, AFAICT. In any case, btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path() only needs to read the on-disk superblock and copy several fields out of it; all callers are only interested in devices that are already opened and brought into per-filesystem set, so setting the block size is redundant for those and actively harmful if we are given a pathname of unrelated device.
