Seems fine, but not that big of an issue as it's a very small function.

ffffffff81136880 <sched_init_granularity>:
ffffffff81136880:       e8 7b b3 ac 00          callq  ffffffff81c01c00 <__fentry__>
                        ffffffff81136881: R_X86_64_PLT32        __fentry__-0x4
ffffffff81136885:       e9 86 86 ff ff          jmpq   ffffffff8112ef10 <update_sysctl>
ffffffff8113688a:       66 0f 1f 44 00 00       nopw   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)


But anyway, it can save 16 bytes of memory in the running kernel.
