Doubling may be too much, as fmt strings are not going to grow
exponentially.

Need to test the return value of kmalloc. But I would use realloc instead,
and continue:
char *tmp_fmt;
unsigned int tmp_size;
tmp_size = iter->fmt_size + STATIC_FMT_BUF_SIZE;
tmp_fmt = krealloc(iter->fmt, tmp_size, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!tmp_fmt)
return fmt;
q += tmp_fmt - new_fmt;
new_fmt = iter->fmt = tmp_fmt;
iter->fmt_size = tmp_size;

Then you don't even need the retry, and just continue processing.
Also, if it fails to allocate, you still have the iter->fmt and fmt_size
intact and correct.
