Define the VFS inode flags using bit numbers instead of hardcoding
powers of 2, which has become unwieldy now that we're up to 65536.

No change in the actual values.

If you're going to change these, why not use the BIT() macro?

Either way would be fine with me, but I've seen people complain about BIT()
before and say they prefer just (1 << n).

Yup, BIT() is just another layer of largely useless macro
obfuscation that forces readers to do yet another lookup to find out
what it means.  Please don't use it.

Cheers,

*shrug*

I don't see much point in that, but... might as well.  Applied.
