Since this is essentially just a 4-bit mask, which also works fine if the stream
ID is an arbitrary value, it would be more clear to just define a mask like
RWF_WRITE_LIFE_MASK that covers these bits instead of spelling out individual
bits.

This should just pass all of the bits through:
if (flags & RWF_WRITE_LIFE_MASK) {
file_inode(filp)->i_stream =
((flags & RWF_WRITE_LIFE_MASK) >> RWF_WRITE_LIFE_SHIFT;
kiocb.ki_flags |=
file_inode(filp)->i_stream << IOCB_WRITE_LIFE_SHIFT;
}

or if you want to make it clear which bits are actually used, either:
#define IOCB_WRITE_LIFE_MASK((1 << 7) | (1 << 8) | (1 << 9) | (1 <<10))
or
#define IOCB_WRITE_LIFE_MASK(BIT(7) | BIT(8) | BIT(9) | BIT(10))
