We can. The reason I did it this way is that when we don't have
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32, the compiler should be able to simplify to:

bug_mask = __GFP_HIGHMEM | ~__GFP_BITS_MASK;
if (true || ..) => if (true)
bug_mask |= __GFP_DMA32;

Then just
bug_mask = __GFP_HIGHMEM | ~__GFP_BITS_MASK | __GFP_DMA32;

And since the function is inline, slab_flags would not even need to be
accessed at all.
