If that test for a non-null task is needed then surely the get and put
need to be similarly protected :).

The bare GFP_KERNEL raises an eyebrow. Some bdi_init() callers like
blk_alloc_queue_node() look like they'll want to pass in a gfp_t for the
allocation.
And shouldn't this be freed in the error path of bdi_init()?
