I'd much rather move the already initialized check into
swiotlb_init_late, which is a much cleaer interface.

.. and would take care of this one as well.

Nit: no need for the !!, we can rely on the implicit promotion to
bool. But with the suggestion above the need for this helper
should go away anyway.
