I don't see any advantage in it. This code is compiled with "set
.noreorder" so the assembler can't optimize or eliminate the dummy
instructions in case of "CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN = 0".Also there is
another instruction below which also needs this guard. Thus it would
be more consistent if both places use the same #if guard.
