While 7a401a97 ("backing-dev: ensure wakeup_timer is deleted") addressed the problem of the bdi being freed with a queued wakeup timer, there are other races that could happen if the wakeup timer expires after/during bdi_unregister(), before bdi_destroy() is called. wakeup_timer_fn() could attempt to wakeup a task which has already has been freed, or could access a NULL bdi->dev via the wake_forker_thread tracepoint.
