It should be to reserve space for ublk passthrough OP.

Also it might break userspace by changing to enum from macro for existed
definition, cause userspace may check something by '#ifdef UBLK_IO_OP_*',
so probably it is better to keep these OPs as enum, or at least keep
existed definition as macro.
