There are no users of "__bitwise__" except the definition of "__bitwise".
Remove __bitwise__ and define __bitwise directly.

This is a follow-up to 05de97003c77 ("linux/types.h: enable endian checks
for all sparse builds").

Hi,

this broke userspace, like open-iscsi:
[ 34s] In file included from session_info.h:9,
[ 34s] from iscsi_util.c:38:
[ 34s] ../include/iscsi_proto.h:66:30: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'itt_t'
[ 34s] 66 | typedef uint32_t __bitwise__ itt_t;
[ 34s] | ^~~~~

It looks like we need __bitwise__ back.

thanks,
