The first patch is a super minor nit and I'm fine with it being ignored. Second patch is imho of actual value. fd_install has an avoidable requirement to be called in a sleepable context. It matters e.g. in rhel7 to where the patch was recently backported and the new requirement could not be enforced. I don't see any benefits from sleeping over locking and not sleeping makes the function slightly nicer.
