You only call this in one place, why is it needed like this?  The "old"
code open-coded this, what is this helping with here?

And what does "query" mean here?  I have no idea how that variable
matters, or what it does.  Why not just test if buf is NULL or not if
you don't want to use it?

Ah, you are trying to see how "long" the buffer is going to be.  That
makes more sense, but just trigger off of the NULL buffer or not, making
this a bit more "obvious" what you are doing and not tieing two
parameters to each other (meaning one always reflects the other one).

Why kvmalloc() and not just kmalloc()?  How big is this buffer you are
expecting to have here?

Two locks?  Why not 3?  5?  How about just 1?  :)

You just leaked data if led_trigger_format() returned an error :(

Just return -ENOMEM above if !data, which makes this much simpler.
