Good analysis, thank you!

We can save a line as follows:

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT))
preempt_disable();

This approach also has the advantage of letting the compiler look at
more of the code, so that compiler errors in strange combinations of
configurations are less likely to be missed.

Would you like to send me a replacement patch?
