Unfortunately that was not there as an optimization but because it
gets around a circular dependency between cred.h and capability.h.
Ideally we would keep capability.h from having to know about struct
cred.
The two simplest solutions are to uninline nsown_capable() into
capability.c, and to move it from capability.h to cred.h, with the
expectation that all callers of nsown_capable() #include cred.h
(which they do). I'm uninlining it here, hoping that the compiler
will inline it for us.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Cache user_ns in struct cred (v2)
If !CONFIG_USERNS, have current_user_ns() defined to (&init_user_ns).
Get rid of _current_user_ns. This requires nsown_capable() to be
defined in capability.c rather than as static inline in capability.h,
so do that.
Request_key needs init_user_ns defined at current_user_ns if
!CONFIG_USERNS, so forward-declare that in cred.h if !CONFIG_USERNS
at current_user_ns() define.
Compile-tested with and without CONFIG_USERNS.
