The important part of init_engine_mask isn't the return value, but
rather that it's what sets up gt->info.engine_mask.  The HAS_ENGINE()
check that intel_engines_init_mmio() uses is based on the value stored
there, so updating that function will also ensure that we skip the
engines we don't want in the loop.
