even better:

static inline bool ext4_is_dx(const struct inode *dir)
{
#ifdef FOOBAR
	return EXT4_HAS_COMPAT_FEATURE(dir->i_sb,   EXT4_FEATURE_COMPAT_DIR_INDEX) 
                   && (EXT4_I(dir)->i_flags & EXT4_INDEX_FL));
#else
	return false;
#endif
}

static inline bool ext4_dir_link_max(const struct inode *dir)
{
	return !ext4_is_dx(dir) && (dir->i_nlink >= EXT4_LINK_MAX);
}

static inline bool ext4_dir_link_empty(const struct inode *dir)
{
#ifdef FOOBAR
	return dir->i_nlink == 2 || dir->i_nlink == 1;
#else
	return dir->i_nlink == 2;
#endif
}


FOOBAR is the define, which enables ext4_is_dx(). 
That is not in the patch, so left as an exercise to the reader :-)
