  The list of GFP flags is sparse already (see 0x200u and flags defined
based on CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS), so it makes little sense to save one
bit at the end of it if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is undefined.

The dependence of __GFP_BITS_SHIFT on CONFIG_LOCKDEP also does not let us
add new flags after ___GFP_NOLOCKDEP.

An alternative to this patch would be putting all ___GFP_ flags into
enum, so that we they occupy as few bits as possible.
My understanding is that this is doable, because tools/perf/builtin-kmem.c
does not depend on the flag values, but maybe I am missing something?
