mm: correct sign-extension issue in MMF_* flag masks

There is an issue with the mask declarations in linux/mm_types.h, which
naively do (1 << bit) operations.  Unfortunately this results in the 1
being defaulted as a signed (32-bit) integer.

When the compiler expands the MMF_INIT_MASK bitmask it comes up with:

(((1 << 2) - 1) | (((1 << 9) - 1) << 2) | (1 << 24) | (1 << 28) | (1 << 30)
| (1 << 31))

Which overflows the signed integer to -788,527,105.  Implicitly casting
this to an unsigned integer results in sign-expansion, and thus this value
becomes 0xffffffffd10007ff, rather than the intended 0xd10007ff.

While we're limited to a maximum of 32 bits in mm->flags, this isn't an
issue as the remaining bits being masked will always be zero.

However, now we are moving towards having more bits in this flag, this
becomes an issue.

Simply resolve this by using the _BITUL() helper to cast the shifted value
to an unsigned long.

[lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com: prefer BIT() to _BITUL()]
