Why is this an unconditional function? Isn't the mask simply 0 when the MEM
ENCRYPT support is disabled?

That does not make any sense. Neither the call to sme_encrypt_kernel() nor
the following call to sme_get_me_mask().

__startup_64() is already C code, so why can't you simply call that from
__startup_64() in C and return the mask from there?

Do we really need a call here? The mask is established at this point, so
it's either 0 when the encryption stuff is not compiled in or it can be
retrieved from a variable which is accessible at this point.
