[PATCH v3 2/3] fs: Convert kiocb rw_hint from enum to u16

From: adam . manzanares
Date: Tue May 08 2018 - 13:42:45 EST


From: Adam Manzanares <adam.manzanares@xxxxxxx>

In order to avoid kiocb bloat for per command iopriority support, rw_hint
is converted from enum to a u16. Added a guard around ki_hint assigment.
