Now I'm inclined to do this:

+#define TASK_PFA_TEST(name, func)					\
+	static inline bool task_##func(struct task_struct *p)		\
+	{ return test_bit(PFA_##name, &p->atomic_flags); }
+#define TASK_PFA_SET(name, func)					\
+	static inline void task_set_##func(struct task_struct *p)	\
+	{ set_bit(PFA_##name, &p->atomic_flags); }
+#define TASK_PFA_CLEAR(name, func)					\
+	static inline void task_clear_##func(struct task_struct *p)	\
+	{ clear_bit(PFA_##name, &p->atomic_flags); }
+
+TASK_PFA_TEST(NO_NEW_PRIVS, no_new_privs)
+TASK_PFA_SET(NO_NEW_PRIVS, no_new_privs)
