As additional information: In sysfs_init_fs_context, we have

	kfc->ns_tag = netns = kobj_ns_grab_current(KOBJ_NS_TYPE_NET);
	...
	fc->user_ns = get_user_ns(netns->user_ns);

With my config, kobj_ns_grab_current() returns NULL here, which obviously
causes a null pointer dereference when trying to set fs->user_ns.

Probably the most important line of the .config (attached):

	# CONFIG_NET is not set

Thanks,
	Dominik
