Thanks! The double underscore is to fit the bitops convention of bitop() is atomic, __bitop() is non-atomic. Obviously these operations were and are non-atomic so this is where this came from. I do that because the vast majority of operations on mm flags were atomic bitops before so it is in keeping with.
