This is a bit of a mess - we should reserve the first 4 bits for the
waitable inode_state_bits right from the start and not renumber the
other flag bits into that range. i.e. start the first non-waitable
bit at bit 4. That way every time we add/remove a waitable bit, we
don't have to rewrite the entire set of flags. i.e: something like:

enum inode_state_flags_t {
	I_NEW			= (1U << __I_NEW),
	I_SYNC			= (1U << __I_SYNC),
	// waitable bit 2 unused
	// waitable bit 3 unused
	I_DIRTY_SYNC		= (1U << 4),
....

This will be much more blame friendly if we do it this way from the
start of this patch set.
