swiotlb: fix "x86: Don't panic if can not alloc buffer for swiotlb"
kernel/dma/swiotlb.c:swiotlb_init gets called first and tries to allocate a buffer for the swiotlb. It does so by calling memblock_alloc_low(PAGE_ALIGN(bytes), PAGE_SIZE); If the allocation must fail, no_iotlb_memory is set. Later during initialization swiotlb-xen comes in (drivers/xen/swiotlb-xen.c:xen_swiotlb_init) and given that io_tlb_start is != 0, it thinks the memory is ready to use when actually it is not. When the swiotlb is actually needed, swiotlb_tbl_map_single gets called and since no_iotlb_memory is set the kernel panics. Instead, if swiotlb-xen.c:xen_swiotlb_init knew the swiotlb hadn't been initialized, it would do the initialization itself, which might still succeed. Fix the panic by setting io_tlb_start to 0 on swiotlb initialization failure, and also by setting no_iotlb_memory to false on swiotlb initialization success.
