The current way to provide a no-op flag to 'bpf_ringbuf_submit()', 'bpf_ringbuf_discard()' and 'bpf_ringbuf_output()' is to provide a '0' value.
A '0' value might notify the consumer if it already caught up in processing, so let's provide a more descriptive notation for this value.

flags == 0 means "no extra modifiers of behavior". That's default adaptive notification. If you want to adjust default behavior, only then you specify non-zero flags. I don't think anyone will bother typing BPF_RB_MAY_WAKEUP for this, nor I think it's really needed. The documentation update is nice (if no flags are specified notification will be sent if needed), but the new "pseudo-flag" seems like an overkill to me.
