If you end up having to respin this patchset, you might consider
moving the "put_task_struct(...); return X;" code into a block at the
end of the function to simplify things a bit, for example:

static int proc_pid_attr_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
{
const char *name = file->f_path.dentry->d_name.name;
const struct seq_operations *ops;
struct task_struct *task;
struct seq_file *seq;
int ret;

file->private_data = NULL;

task = get_proc_task(inode);
if (!task)
return -ESRCH;

/* don't use seq_ops if they are not provided by LSM */
ret = security_getprocattr_seq(task, name, &ops);
if (ret == -EOPNOTSUPP) {
ret = 0;
goto put_task;
}
if (ret)
goto put_task;

ret = seq_open(file, ops);
if (ret)
goto put_task;

seq = file->private_data;
seq->private = task;

return 0;

put_task:
put_task_struct(task);
return ret;
}
