This looks very good, just one minor potential issue below.

This should be an unsigned long long or __u64, since the max_blocks_per_flex
calculation may overflow a 32-bit value on filesystems with larger block_size
and a large value for flex_size (larger than 2^13 for a 64KB blocksize).
The "stats.free_clusters" is already a __u64 for this reason.
