The ki_ioprio field of struct kiocb is 16-bits (u16) but often handled
as an int in the block layer. E.g. ioprio_check_cap() takes an int as
argument.
With such implicit int casting function calls, the upper 16-bits of the
int argument may be left uninitialized by the compiler, resulting in
invalid values for the IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS() macro (garbage upper bits)
and in an error return for functions such as ioprio_check_cap().
Fix this by masking the result of the shift by IOPRIO_CLASS_SHIFT bits
in the IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS() macro. The new macro IOPRIO_CLASS_MASK
defines the 3-bits mask for the priority class.
Similarly, apply the IOPRIO_PRIO_MASK mask to the data argument of the
IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE() macro to ignore the upper bits of the data value.
The IOPRIO_CLASS_MASK mask is also applied to the class argument of this
macro before shifting the result by IOPRIO_CLASS_SHIFT bits.
While at it, also change the argument name of the IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS()
and IOPRIO_PRIO_DATA() macros from "mask" to "ioprio" to reflect the
fact that a priority value should be passed rather than a mask.
