If I understood correctly, Linus recommended to me that we use the
open-time capabilities of the file descriptor rather than the current
capability state (to mitigate against an attacker passing an FD to a
setuid process, I think).
FWIW, I knocked up a quick internal patch (less comprehensive than
yours!) and used file_ns_capable() successfully, i.e:
pm.show_pfn = file_ns_capable(file, &init_user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN);
It looked promising to be but I've not done the checking to verify
that this is strictly correct; the capabilities stuff is not an area
of the kernel I'm familiar with.

No other comments on this, looks like it would help us.
