With the introduction of BIO_NO_PAGE_REF we've used up all available bits
in bio::bi_flags.

Convert the defines of the flags to an enum and add a BUILD_BUG_ON() call
to make sure no-one adds a new one and thus overrides the BVEC_POOL_IDX
causing crashes.

This used to be part of my bio patchset but as it's a) not clear why we
end up calling bio_put() on the on-stack bio and b) the needed prep patch
for the fix introduces a regression, I've decided to sent this patch out
as it's valid on it's own.

I dropped Hannes' and Christoph's R-b though, as the context changed.
