**Refactoring `reserve_mem_init` in `mm/memblock.c`**

Okay, so this patch is touching `mm/memblock.c`. It looks like it's simplifying the `reserve_mem_init` function. Instead of assigning the result of `prepare_kho_fdt()` to `err` and then returning `err`, it's directly returning the result. A pure refactoring, I see. No functional change should occur here.

Let's quickly verify. Right, the original code assigned the result to `err`, and then returned it, whether it was an error or zero. The new code does the exact same thing, just in one step. If `prepare_kho_fdt()` returns non-zero, it returns non-zero. If it returns zero, it returns zero. Exactly equivalent!

Hang on, is there *any* functional change, however subtle? Nope, it's just about code style. Okay, I'm satisfied.

So, since there's no functional change, that means `WorthFuzzing=false`. Let's just go ahead and set `WorthFuzzing` to false, then.
