This breaks other architectures.

You could just return here:

  if (__kfence_pool)
    return; /* Initialized earlier by arch init code. */

... and see my comments below.

I would suggest leaving kfence_alloc_pool() to return nothing (with
the addition above), and just set __kfence_pool as before.
__kfence_pool itself is exported by include/linux/kfence.h, so if you
call kfence_alloc_pool() in arm64 earlier, you can access
__kfence_pool to get the allocated pool.

Because at that point, KFENCE isn't yet running, that only happens
after kfence_init() much later.

With these changes, you should be able to make arm64 work the way you
want, and not break other architectures where we don't need arch init
code to allocate the pool.

Thanks,
