As I've just introduced and fixed a bug in this area in the current
cycle - I don't think no_iotlb_memory is what your want (and maybe
not useful at all): if the arch valls swiotlb_exit after previously
initializing a buffer it won't be set.  You probably want to check
for non-zero io_tlb_start and/or io_tlb_end.

Okay, but that requires that I also set io_tlb_start and friends back to
zero in the failure path of swiotlb_init(). Otherwise it could be left
non-zero in case swiotlb_init_with_tbl() returns an error.

Indeed, and we'll need to do that anyway as otherwise the dma mapping
path might cause problems similar to the one when swiotlb_exit is
called that I fixed.
