I am surprised you get this mapping even after commenting the permission
adjustments... it doesn't work for me when I comment them out:

[stefanb@ima-ns-dev rootfs]$ unshare -r --user --mount
[root@ima-ns-dev rootfs]# mount -t securityfs_ns none /sys/kernel/security/
[root@ima-ns-dev rootfs]# cd /sys/kernel/security/ima/
[root@ima-ns-dev ima]# ls -l
total 0
-r--r-----. 1 nobody nobody 0 Dec  1 15:20 ascii_runtime_measurements
-r--r-----. 1 nobody nobody 0 Dec  1 15:20 binary_runtime_measurements
-rw-------. 1 nobody nobody 0 Dec  1 15:20 policy
-r--r-----. 1 nobody nobody 0 Dec  1 15:20 runtime_measurements_count
-r--r-----. 1 nobody nobody 0 Dec  1 15:20 violations
[root@ima-ns-dev ima]# cat /proc/self/uid_map
0       1000          1
[root@ima-ns-dev ima]# cat /proc/self/gid_map
0       1000          1

The initialization of securityfs and setup of files and directories
happens at the same time as the IMA namespace is created. At this time
there are no user mappings available, so that's why I need to make the
adjustments 'late'.
