Doesn't hurt to just kfree a NULL pointer; so check is not needed.

No kfree(buf)?

Why change from kmalloc to kzalloc? It's better to split out such
changes into separate patch for easier review.

As noted in a comment to previous patch, please use kmalloc and
explicit initialisation of variables.

Will something break if this is not done?
