Hmm. This is pretty much a can't happen case, as the only exist in mount
namespaces where the global root isn't the root.  How are you getting
into this situation?  Using setns() ?

Why would we even care?

As implemented this patch does not handle nested user namespaces and
that really worries me at a semantic level.

We don't want to design cases where we can create containers in
containers.
