task could be exiting, so task->nsproxy could be NULL, right?
Maybe make proc_ns_instantiate() rcu_dereference task->nsproxy, check for it
being not NULL, and pass task->nsproxy to ns_ops->get()?

That could be an issue for the user namespace since it is not in nsproxy, but
maybe no reasonable usage of ns_ops with user namespaces is envisioned.
Otherwise, checking that task is alive with RCU locked in proc_ns_instantiate() should be enough to be
rely on task->cred when calling ns_ops->get().

Thanks,

Louis
