Today's upstream tree build (x86, 64-bit, allyesconfig) failed with 
this build error:

    mm/memcontrol.c: In function ‘mem_cgroup_force_empty’:
    mm/memcontrol.c:1976: error: ‘BLK_RW_ASYNC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
    mm/memcontrol.c:1976: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
    mm/memcontrol.c:1976: error: for each function it appears in.)

Due to commit:

  8aa7e84: Fix congestion_wait() sync/async vs read/write confusion

Missing to include a required header file for the BLK_RW_ASYNC.

I merged a better fix from Trond, which should make all of this 
unnecessary (just move BLK_RW_[A]SYNC to the header file that people need 
anyway).

ok, that's better. I think if in addition to that we also did what i 
suggested:

would be one step cleaner.

We could then include blkdev-types.h in backing-dev.h so that it 
picks up the constants. Right now having BLK_RW_[A]SYNC in 
backing-dev.h looks a bit weird. No strong opinion though.
