Logic-wise it's fine, but is this change really helpful?   The comment says:

/*
 * Test if bit 0 or 2 is set in the "priority tag" of the buffer to see if
 * the buffer is for an inode or other metadata.
 */

so basically it distinguishes inodes from other metadata right.

!B_IS_INODE() seems less than helpful...

B_IS_INODE is clear; B_IS_META is pretty clear, "!B_IS_INODE" seems muddy; so
very many things are "not inodes" :)
