pv_vcpu_is_preempted_enabled static_key is not used in any patch.
Maybe it is stale?

Could we use DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_NULL and get rid of the dummy
function? I believe that makes the function trampoline as return
instruction, till it is updated.

I guess you could just do:
{
return READ_ONCE(per_cpu(vcpus_states, cpu).preempted);

I think this static key inc is also stale.
