It'd perhaps be clearer to read this with an
immediate return after a failure in get_proc_task.

Maybe something like (move initializations as desired):

static void *proc_map_files_follow_link(struct dentry *dentry, struct nameidata *nd)
{
int allowed;
struct iode *inode = d_inode(dentry);
struct task_struct task = get_proc_task(inode);

if (!task)
return ERR_PTR(-ESRCH);

allowed = ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH);

put_task_struct(task);

if (!allowed)
return ERR_PTR(-EACCES);

return proc_pic_follow_link(dentry, nd);
}
