Hm...

static struct super_block *mbt_ext4_alloc_super_block(void)
{                                                                                                                                                                                                       struct ext4_super_block *es = kzalloc(sizeof(*es), GFP_KERNEL);
        struct ext4_sb_info *sbi = kzalloc(sizeof(*sbi), GFP_KERNEL);
        struct mbt_ext4_super_block *fsb = kzalloc(sizeof(*fsb), GFP_KERNEL);

        if (fsb == NULL || sbi == NULL || es == NULL)
                goto out;

        sbi->s_es = es;
        fsb->sb.s_fs_info = sbi;
        return &fsb->sb;

out:
        kfree(fsb);
        kfree(sbi);
        kfree(es);
        return NULL;
}

That VFS level struct super_block that is returned from this function is
never really initialized afaict? Therefore, sb->s_user_ns == NULL:

i_uid_write(sb, ...)
-> NULL = i_user_ns(sb)
   -> make_kuid(NULL)
      -> map_id_range_down(NULL)

Outside of this test this can never be the case. See alloc_super() in
fs/super.c. So to stop the bleeding this needs something like:

static struct super_block *mbt_ext4_alloc_super_block(void)
{
        struct ext4_super_block *es = kzalloc(sizeof(*es), GFP_KERNEL);
        struct ext4_sb_info *sbi = kzalloc(sizeof(*sbi), GFP_KERNEL);
        struct mbt_ext4_super_block *fsb = kzalloc(sizeof(*fsb), GFP_KERNEL);

        if (fsb == NULL || sbi == NULL || es == NULL)
                goto out;

        sbi->s_es = es;
        fsb->sb.s_fs_info = sbi;
+       fsb.sb.s_user_ns = &init_user_ns;
        return &fsb->sb;

out:
        kfree(fsb);
        kfree(sbi);
        kfree(es);
        return NULL;
}
