One minor review comment.

I used uuid_le_cmp(*uuid, NULL_UUID_LE) arbitrarily in my original patch,
but if we want to stick to semantic sb->s_uuid is probably more accurately
described as uuid_be, because filesystems most likely copy it in raw format
from disk.

This is purely semantic of course, but if you think that matters, may as well
replace uuid_le with uuid_be.

Reviewed and passed all tests.
