I'm tempted to also get rid of the #ifdefs while at it.

make this
return IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BQL);

And throw in something like:

diff --git a/net/core/net-sysfs.c b/net/core/net-sysfs.c
index a09d507c5b03..119075dff0ee 100644
--- a/net/core/net-sysfs.c
+++ b/net/core/net-sysfs.c
@@ -1454,6 +1454,9 @@ static const struct attribute_group dql_group = {
.name = "byte_queue_limits",
.attrs = dql_attrs,
};
+#else
+/* Fake declaration, all the code using it should be dead */
+extern const struct attribute_group dql_group;
#endif /* CONFIG_BQL */

#ifdef CONFIG_XPS
You should then be able to remove the #ifdef CONFIG_BQL around the
uses of netdev_uses_bql(), compiler will realize it always returns
false and eliminate the code making use of &dql_group.
