Why do you need that change ?

There is no reason for the compiler to complain. It would complain if 
the goto was within a #ifdef, but all the purpose of using IS_ENABLED() 
is to allow the compiler to properly handle all possible cases. That's 
all the force of IS_ENABLED() compared to ifdefs, and that the reason 
why they are plebicited, ref Linux Codying style for a detailed explanation.
