"if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KMSAN))" won't be removed by the preprocessor.
The preprocessor will convert it into if (0).

This is what I found in the gcc documentation about -Wunused-function:
"-Wunused-function
Warn whenever a static function is declared but not defined or a
non-inline static function is unused. This warning is enabled by -Wall."
I think that "if (0) func(...)" counts as using func().
