I'd probably rewrite this as:

static inline struct user_namespace *ima_user_ns_from_file(const struct file *filp)
{
return file_inode(filp)->i_sb->s_user_ns;
}

as it spares you some pointer chasing and also looks cleaner.

All of that isn't needed with my last proposal. You don't need to stash
anything anywhere. I showed that in my previous patch suggestion. The
original filp is stashed in the seq_file's private member, i.e. taking

ima_measurements_start(struct seq_file *m, loff_t *pos)

you can get at:

const struct file *filp = m->file;
struct user_namespace *user_ns = file_inode(filp)->i_sb->s_user_ns;
struct ima_namespace *ns = user_ns->ima_ns;
