Commit a82afdf (block: use the same failfast bits for bio and request) moved BIO_RW_* bits around such that they match up with REQ_* bits. Unfortunately, fs.h hard coded RW_MASK, RWA_MASK, READ, WRITE, READA and SWRITE as 0, 1, 2 and 3, and expected them to match with BIO_RW_* bits. READ/WRITE didn't change but BIO_RW_AHEAD was moved to bit 4 instead of bit 1, breaking RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE. This patch updates RWA_MASK, READA and SWRITE such that they match the BIO_RW_* bits again. A follow up patch will update the definitions to directly use BIO_RW_* bits so that this kind of breakage won't happen again. Neil also spotted missing RWA_MASK conversion. Stable: The offending commit a82afdf was released with v2.6.32, so this patch should be applied to all kernels since then but it must _NOT_ be applied to kernels earlier than that.
