How about sanitiziung the damn thing to
	cp->cp_flags |= __cpu_to_le32(1UL << NILFS_CHECKPOINT_##flag));

while you are at it?  Or, perhaps, even
#define NILFS2_CP_FLAG(flag) __cpu_to_le32(1UL << NILFS_CHECKPOINT_##flag)

and cp->cp_flags |= NILFS2_CP_FLAG(flag) for this one,

	cp->cp_flags &= ~NILFS2_CP_FLAG(flag);
here

and !!(cp->cp_flags & NILFS2_CP_FLAG(flag)
here?  Or maybe even make the damn thing bool and lose the !! here...

"Check that after byteswap it becomes 0", is it?  How is that different
from return !su->su_flags; ?
