I was thinking there's some duplication here (kmalloc + snprintf) that
could be reduced to kasprintf here. Is avoiding that allocation
important or frequent enough to merit open coding?

It's pity the kernel's printk doesn't support %n, so that leaves with

buf = kasprintf(GFP_... , "%pV", vaf);
if (!buf)
	return;

len = strlen(buf);

and even the copy + increment looks like it can then be factored to share
more code.
