Replace the pure numbers with something easier to understand.

How about the following:

static bool filter_watch_notification(const struct watch_filter *wf,
				      const struct watch_notification *n)
{
	const struct watch_type_filter *wt;
	unsigned int st_bits = sizeof(wt->subtype_filter[0]) * 8;
	unsigned int st_index = n->subtype / st_bits;
	unsigned int st_bit = 1U << (n->subtype % st_bits);
	int i;

	if (!test_bit(n->type, wf->type_filter))
		return false;

	for (i = 0; i < wf->nr_filters; i++) {
		wt = &wf->filters[i];
		if (n->type == wt->type &&
		    (wt->subtype_filter[st_index] & st_bit) &&
		    (n->info & wt->info_mask) == wt->info_filter)
			return true;
	}

	return false; /* If there is a filter, the default is to reject. */
}
