Boots with USER_NS=n (given Cedric's patch to fix that original problem)
and passes my testcases with USER_NS=y.

From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@...ibm.com>
Subject: [PATCH] user namespace: remove exceptions for initial namespace

Both sigio and file access checks for user namespace equivalence
were being skipped for processes in the initial namespace.
Remove these exceptions, enforcing the same cross-namespace
checks for all processes in all user namespaces.
