Linus Torvalds caa2898416 linux/types.h: reinstate "__bitwise__" macro for user space use 
Commit c724c866bb ("linux/types.h: remove unnecessary __bitwise__")
was right that there are no users of __bitwise__ in the kernel, but it
turns out there are user space users of it that do expect it.

It is, after all, in the uapi directory, so user space usage is to be
expected.

Instead of reverting the commit completely, let's just clarify the
situation so that it doesn't happen again, and have some in-code
explanations for why that "__bitwise__" still exists.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
