Since dynamic registration of the gifconf() helper is only used for
IPv4, and this can not be in a loadable module, this can be simplified
noticeably by turning it into a direct function call as a preparation
for cleaning up the compat handling.

Hi Sasha,
I don't see you got to this 'Stable-dep-of'. As far as I can tell,
the two are not related, and you don't need to backport my patch.
So the dependency chain for 5641c751fe2f ("net: enetc: deny offload of
tc-based TSN features on VF interfaces") looks something like:
5641c751fe2f ("net: enetc: deny offload of tc-based TSN features on VF interfaces")
a76053707dbf ("dev_ioctl: split out ndo_eth_ioctl")
a554bf96b49d ("dev_ioctl: pass SIOCDEVPRIVATE data separately")
ebb4a911e09a ("cxgb3: use ndo_siocdevprivate")
18787eeebd71 ("qeth: use ndo_siocdevprivate")
99b78a37a371 ("hamachi: use ndo_siocdevprivate")
232ec98ec35d ("bonding: use siocdevprivate")
b9067f5dc4a0 ("net: split out SIOCDEVPRIVATE handling from dev_ioctl")
29c4964822aa ("net: socket: rework compat_ifreq_ioctl()")
876f0bf9d0d5 ("net: socket: simplify dev_ifconf handling")
b0e99d03778b ("net: socket: remove register_gifconf")
dd98d2895de6 ("ethtool: improve compat ioctl handling")
a8c7629c622b ("s390/qeth: remove OSN support")
f92e1869d74e ("Add Mellanox BlueField Gigabit Ethernet driver")
d59a24fd1bdb ("net: gianfar: Convert to ndo_get_stats64 interface")
I didn't end up taking 5641c751fe2f so you're right - I'm going to drop
b0e99d03778 too.
