It may be new callers for the same macro, share it.

Note, it's unknown why it's represented in the current form instead of
simple multiplication and commit 1ff511e35ed8 ("tracing/kprobes: Add
bitfield type") doesn't explain that neither. Let leave it as is and
we may improve it in the future.
Maybe symmetrical change in tools/ like I did[0] an aeon ago?
Hmm... Why can't you simply upstream your version? It seems better than mine.
