That would require kernfs to keep a mapping from an opaque void* to the
kernfs_nodes, though. This way the caller can worry about how to choose a
kernfs_node from the namespace object.
It might be worth it to make 'namespacing' of kernfs more boilerplate, but OTOH
this could also fall under the old kernel rule of don't add it until there's a
user, i.e. until there's a second user to justify the abstraction.

kernfs_node_to_dentry?
This would presumably make the question of whether to pass in a namespace
moot?
