yep, this is more elegant, IMO.  Will send a v3 later with this
change.  Looking at the uses of CONST_MASK, I noticed
arch_change_bit() currently has the (u8) cast from commit
838e8bb71dc0c ("x86: Implement change_bit with immediate operand as
"lock xorb""), so that instance can get cleaned up with the above
suggestion.
