Yeah, I guess removing the final commit is the easiest solution at this
point. It complicates a bit the series to disallow writing to mounted block
devices which bases on this - either I have to pospone that to the next
cycle after we convert bcachefs or I have to find a way for the old
blkdev_get_by_path() API and the new functionality to coexist. I'll think
about that.
