When compiling with -Wformat, clang emits the following warnings:

mm/backing-dev.c:880:57: error: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Werror,-Wformat-security]
        dev = device_create(bdi_class, NULL, MKDEV(0, 0), bdi, bdi->dev_name);
                                                               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use a string literal for the format string.

Please avoid the overly long line.  But given that bdi names aren't user
input this warning seems to shoot from the hip a bit.
