Series looks good!

My main concern is that filesystems with char uuid[16] are here to stay,
or maybe, will be converted slowly.

Considering this, perhaps we should have a helper/macro to copy from
char[16] to *uuid_t and maybe  BUILD_BUG_ON the size comparison?
#define bytes_to_uuid(dst, src) ...

This BUILD_BUG is no longer needed.

I wonder if 'inode->i_sb->s_uuid.b' would have been better here
