Agreed that exporting int_active_memcg is an implementation detail,
but would this prevent set_active_memcg from being inlined? Is that
desireable?

Yes it is intentional. All requests (not just aio) go through the loop
worker which grabs the blkcg reference in loop_queue_work() on
construction. So I believe grabbing a reference per request is
unnecessary.
