I guess it's the simplest thing to do for now. For the future we can
still improve and handle all combinations of kasan/lockdep to occupy as
few bits as possible and set the shift/mask appropriately. Or consider
first if it's necessary anyway. I don't know if we really expect at any
point to start triggering the BUILD_BUG_ON() in radix_tree_init() and
then only some combination of configs will reduce the flags to a number
that works. Or is there anything else that depends on __GFP_BITS_SHIFT?
I mean if we don't expect to go this way, we can just define
__GFP_BITS_SHIFT as a constant that assumes all the config-dependent
flags to be defined (not zero).
