Did you mean "s/take to take/try to take/"?

I think if you increment and then continue here you might save the extra
branch. I didn't look at any disassembly though to verify the generated
code.

I wonder if we can introduce for_each_sd_topology_from(tl,
starting_level) so that you can start searching from a provided level -
which will make this skipping logic unnecessary? So the code will look like

            for_each_sd_topology_from(tl, asymc_level) {
                ...
            }

Or maybe this is not a hot path and we don't care that much about
optimizing the search since you call it unconditionally here even for
systems that don't care?
