I see nothing wrong with this, and would be ok with getting the patches as pulls from the gfs2 tree despite touching generic code.
Maybe wait a bit for others to comment (I see Willy already did), but it seems like a fairly straightforward improvement, and the IOCB_NOIO flag conceptually seems to match well with the IOCB_NOWAIT one, so this all makes sense to me.
