The way I think I'd've done it is to include my patch description and
signed-off-by then list your additional changes (just keep on incrementing the
point numbers) and your signed-off-by.

That should be current_user_ns() rather than current_user()->user_ns. I made
this change before adding the macro.

Superfluous. copy_creds() does this immediately upon return.
Also, in copy_creds(), should the session and process keyrings be discarded if
CLONE_NEWUSER is set? Actually, I think that should be dealt with by a patch
to deal with namespacing keyrings as the user-default keyrings need to be
namespaced rather than here.
