__NR_ZRAM_PAGEFLAGS == BITS_PER_LONG == 64 (e.g. on 64 bit host)
means that the last valid zram pageflag (and __NR_ZRAM_PAGEFLAGS
is not a valid pageflag) is __NR_ZRAM_PAGEFLAGS - 1, which is 63
and which is a valid BIT() offset for u64.
So __NR_ZRAM_PAGEFLAGS == BITS_PER_LONG should be a valid case.
