DynamicTablesPkg: SRAT: Fix uninitialized memory usage

On enabling the /analyse option the VS2017 compiler
reports: warning C6001: Using uninitialized memory.

This warning is reported for the Status variable in
AddGenericInitiatorAffinity() as it is not initialised
to a default value. This condition is only valid if
GenInitAffCount is equal to 0. Since GenInitAffCount
is already checked in BuildSratTable() this condition
can never happen.

The value of the Status variable is returned in
failure cases from appropriate locations in
AddGenericInitiatorAffinity(). The only case
where Status value is being used un-initialised
is the return statement at the end of
AddGenericInitiatorAffinity().

Therefore, to fix this issue EFI_SUCCESS can be
safely returned instead of returning the Status
variable at the end of the function.
