The effect is very similar to my patch (probably same object code), the
only difference should be that it would add an ugly #ifdef instead of
the preferred IS_ENABLED() check, so you don't get any compile-time
coverage of the function. It's not really important because everybody
has CONFIG_INET enabled in practice and it does get more than enough
compile-time coverage.
