I'm not sure if this new symbol is really necessary.
The message could be as simple as "Initialization failed: Hibernation
support is enabled" (assuming a properly defined pr_fmt()), because
that carries enough information about the reason for the failure IMO.
How to address it can be documented elsewhere.

IIUC, the role of the comment is to document the fact that it is OK to
use hiberation_available() here, because it cannot return "false"
intermittently at this point, so I would just say "At this point,
hibernation_available() indicates whether or not hibernation support
has been permanently disabled", without going into all of the details
(which are irrelevant IMO and may change in the future).

It would be somewhat nicer to have a helper for setting this pointer.
