Subject: [PATCH 02/12] swiotlb-xen: fix late init retry

The commit referenced below removed the assignment of "bytes" from
xen_swiotlb_init() without - like done for xen_swiotlb_init_early() -
adding an assignment on the retry path, thus leading to excessively
sized allocations upon retries.

Fixes: 2d29960af0be ("swiotlb: dynamically allocate io_tlb_default_mem")
