I like that much better.

I'd move this also to the top of the function. Or move tmp and pathbuf
in here, so you could also move them to this place.

Probably just me, but I prefer ARRAY_SIZE() instead of sizeof() for any
kind of array sizes.

Can't you avoid that? See next paragraph.

Why not

tmp = dentry_path_raw(kvm->debugfs_dentry, pathbuf, PATH_MAX);
if (!IS_ERR(tmp)) {
	add_uevent_var(env, "STATS_PATH=s", tmp);
}

and avoid len / pvar / memcpy? And keep internal env size checking
consistent.

(are my tired eyes missing something? :) )
