Why?  You set len below before first use, so this is redundant.

Equivalent to goto out in the original code, so why change it?  Don't
make unnecessary changes.

Also, I think the get_task_mm() ought to move into the helper (or all of
proc_pid_cmdline() should just become the helper).  In what situation
will you not be calling get_task_mm() and mmput() around every call to
the helper?

Could be moved into the helper.  Not sure how the inline function helps
readability or maintainability.

If the capping of len is handled by the caller, then pass an int to your
helper rather than an unsigned int to avoid problems later with
access_process_vm().

Odd style.  If there is only one exit path, just call it out; if there
are two, keep them as out_mm and out.
