style trivia:

Generally, these static inlines can be written deduplicating
the function declaration and using IS_ENABLED or #if inside
the definition.

Something like:

static inline bool is_livepatch_module(struct module *mod)
{
	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LIVEPATCH)) {
		mod->klp = true;
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}

or

static inline bool is_livepatch_module(struct module *mod)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_LIVEPATCH
	mod->klp = true;
	return true;
#else
	return false;
#endif
}
