Perhaps define that as

FORTIFY_READ_WRITE  BIT(0)
FORTIFY_FUNC_SHIFT  1

const bool write = reason & FORTIFY_READ_WRITE; // and note no need for !! part

switch (reason >> FORTIFY_FUNC_SHIFT) {

Using str_read_write() ?

Dunno if it's already there or needs to be added. I have some patches
to move those str_*() to string_choices.h. We can also prepend yours
with those.
