Open code the bit number directly in the PFERR_* masks and drop the
intermediate PFERR_*_BIT defines, as having to bounce through two macros
just to see which flag corresponds to which bit is quite annoying, as is
having to define two macros just to add recognition of a new flag.

Use ternary operator to derive the bit in permission_fault(), the one
function that actually needs the bit number as part of clever shifting
to avoid conditional branches.  Generally the compiler is able to turn
it into a conditional move, and if not it's not really a big deal.

No functional change intended.

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 reStructuredText 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.
