As noticed in the review this should probably say:
	if (current_user_ns() != &init_user_ns)
		return -EINVAL;

Just so we don't need to think about cuse being opened in a user
namespace at this point.  It is probably harmless.  But it isn't
what we are focusing on.

The hunk above is a rebase error.  I believe it started out by erroring
out in the same case the pid namespace case errored out.  Miklos has a
good point that we need to handle the case where we have servers running
in jails of one sort or another because at least sandstorm runs
applications in that fashion, and we have previously had error reports
about that configuration breaking.

I think we can easily fix that.  Either by adding extra translation as
we did for the pid namespace or changing the user namespace used on the
connection.  I believe extra translation like we did with the pid
namespace will be more consistent.  And again it won't be a special
case except possibly during mount.  Of course there is weirdness there.
