Hi,

I know this is a late entry to the discussion but a few comments inline.
(sorry I didn't look earlier!)

All opportunities to improve code complexity and readability as a result
of your factoring out.

could use

	guard(mutex)(&kmem_memory_type_lock);
	return mt_find_alloc_memory_type(adist, &kmem_memory_types);

I'm fine if you ignore this comment though as may be other functions in
here that could take advantage of the cleanup.h stuff in a future patch.

That indent looks unusual.  Align the start of struct with start of int.

Breaking this out as a separate function provides opportunity to improve it.
Maybe a follow up patch makes sense given it would no longer be a straight
forward code move.  However in my view it would be simple enough to be obvious
even within this patch.

Why not return here?
			return mtype;

If returning above, no need for found variable - just do this unconditionally.
+ I suggest you flip logic for simpler to follow code flow.
It's more code but I think a bit easier to read as error handling is
out of the main simple flow.

	mtype = alloc_memory_type(adist);
	if (IS_ERR(mtype))
		return mtype;

	list_add(&mtype->list, memory_types);

	return mtype;
