No. we really really need it.  For example when we build a kernel with
PROTECTION_KEYS config enabled and run that kernel on a older processor
or on a system where the key feature is not enabled in the device tree,
we have fail all the calls that get called-in by the arch-neutral code.

Hence we need this check.

BTW: jump labels are awkward IMHO, unless absolutely needed.

there is sys_mprotect() and now there is a sys_pkey_mprotect() call.
The 'plain' one is the former.

in the plain sys_mprotect() key is not specified. In that case this
function gets called with a -1.
