There isn't a huge list to manage the types, which can be managed
with defines. It helps to easily print the types in tracing as well.
We use enums in a lot of places, I'd rather keep it as it is.
  This patch converts all of them, and it was at only one place.
Yeah, but I mean the enum vs define style of constant definition.
  I hope I didn't miss any. Further the next patch 3/4 needs it
  to be define instead of enums, handling enums in the tracing
  isn't as easy as define.
Interesting, in what way are defines better use in tracepoints? I see
eg. show_flush_state using enum btrfs_flush_state in btrfs_flush_space,
the same pattern applies to patch 3/4.
