Actually, both the existing #ifdef and an IS_ENABLED() check would be
is superfluous as-is.

Adding X86_FEATURE_SHSTK disabled-features.h gives cpu_feature_enabled()
compile-time optimizations for free.  No need for *any* additional
CONFIG_* checks.

The only issue would be if the #ifdef'd code won't even compile with
X86_FEATURE_SHSTK disabled.
