I see nothing objectionable here.
The only bikeshed comment I have is that I think the "for_init.c" name
is ugly and pointless - I think you could just call it "fs/init.c" and
it's both simpler and more straightforward. It _is_ init code, it's
not "for" init.
Other than that it all looked straightforward to me.
