\mode_if_inner:TF is a wrapper around \ifinner so can't be used to
distinguish inline from display. In fact in math \ifinner can't be used
to detect much useful at all, the points at which tex is or is not in
inner math mode are not usually interesting. (Unlike testing for inner
when in vertical mode that tells you if you are in a box or on the main
vertical list)
