.. this is a bitwise type

.. but these aren't.  Leading to warnings like:

 CHECK   block/bio-integrity.c
block/bio-integrity.c:371:17: warning: restricted uio_meta_flags_t degrades to integer
block/bio-integrity.c:373:17: warning: restricted uio_meta_flags_t degrades to integer
block/bio-integrity.c:375:17: warning: restricted uio_meta_flags_t degrades to integer
block/bio-integrity.c:402:33: warning: restricted uio_meta_flags_t degrades to integer

from sparse.  Given that the flags are uapi, the it's probably best
to just drop the __bitwise annotation.
