This looks good. I am a little worried that a concept like
inode_user_ns will imply that there is only ever one.

However this looks like a good place to start and it will only
be strange filesystems that implement a notion of permissions
that is namespace aware so I don't expect the generic code
needs to handle that case other than allowing the permission checks
to be overridden.
