[PATCH v1 03/13] kho: Preserve FDT folio only once during initialization

Currently, the FDT folio is preserved inside __kho_finalize(). If the
user performs multiple finalize/abort cycles, kho_preserve_folio() is
called repeatedly for the same FDT folio.

Since the FDT folio is allocated once during kho_init(), it should be
marked for preservation at the same time. Move the preservation call to
kho_init() to align the preservation state with the object's lifecycle
and simplify the finalize path.
