As noted later in the thread if this is required it means something is
buggy in the current code. That shouldn't be needed.

I think there's a more fundamental issue here. The correct way to do all
this would be to restructure securityfs at least how it works inside of
user namespaces. Currently, securityfs works like debugfs: a single
shared superblock that is pinned by each new inode that is created via:

simple_pin_fs(&fs_type, &mount, &mount_count);
simple_release_fs(&mount, &mount_count);

and each mount surfaces the same superblock. Ideally making securityfs
mountable inside of user namespaces should get you a new superblock.
Functions that create files for the ima ns would then be called inside
->fill_super etc.
