We have a set of flags that are shared between the two and inherired in kiocb_set_rw_flags(), but we check and set these individually. Reorder the IOCB flags so that the bottom part of the space is synced with the RWF flag space, and then we can do them all in one mask and set operation. The only exception is RWF_SYNC, which needs to mark IOCB_SYNC and IOCB_DSYNC. Do that one separately. This shaves 15 bytes of text from kiocb_set_rw_flags() for me.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
