Fix it, by moving the check from the preprocessor to C, so the compiler
sees the use.

Just for the record,

I compared both object files by running `objdump -d`, and the result is the same.

The binary differed (`vbindiff`), but I guess this is due to the increased revision (`make bindeb-pkg`).

without a change (Linus’ current master):

v2 (ternary operator):
