Does the rename add anything major to the patch?
If not I'd leave it alone to reduce the churn and give
a more readable patch. If it is worth doing perhaps
a precursor patch?

Does the comment refer to this path, or to ones where memtype is set?

Given the large comment I would add {} to help with readability.
You could flip the logic to reduce indent
for_each_node_state(nid, N_MEMORY) {
if (node_memory_types[nid].memtype)
continue;
/*

* between `memory_tier_init()` and `memory_tier_late_init()`,

As below, this is a classic case where guard() will help readability.

Looks like rc is set in all paths that reach where it isused.

This would benefit quite a lot from
guard(mutex)(&default_dram_perf_lock);
and direct returns throughout.

Unusual indenting. Align with just after (
