Thank you, Christoph, for the review.
I will correct all except two points.

This function should be called quite rarely, and the absence of the interposer
parameter indicates that the function is being used incorrectly.
I would like to see this warning every time.

I think it's better to apply WARN_ON here.

I think I need it. If we try to initialize the interposer again, the reason
for this error is most likely in the logic of the module itself.
If the interposer is occupied by someone else, then we need to let know
about it.

Yes, I think so. This will allow to keep only one parameter of the function.

Ok. Maybe submit_bio_hook would be better? or submit_bio_interposer.
