I'm guessing you're relying on the compiler to optimize out everything in the !CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING case, and it seems to do that here.
However, I would do the regular thing we do for cases like that. It is much easier and faster to read because we do use it everywhere:
#ifdef CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING /* Called on entry from user mode with IRQs off. */ __visible void enter_from_user_mode(void) { CT_WARN_ON(ct_state() != CONTEXT_USER); user_exit(); } #else #define enter_from_user_mode() do { } while (0) #endif

Comment above should be here.
