netdevice: convert private flags > BIT(31) to bitfields
Make dev->priv_flags `u32` back and define bits higher than 31 as bitfield booleans as per Jakub's suggestion. This simplifies code which accesses these bits with no optimization loss (testb both before/after), allows to not extend &netdev_priv_flags each time, but also scales better as bits > 63 in the future would only add a new u64 to the structure with no complications, comparing to that extending ::priv_flags would require converting it to a bitmap. Note that I picked `unsigned long :1` to not lose any potential optimizations comparing to `bool :1` etc. Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin <aleksander.lobakin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
