It's probably worth putting a comment here saying that user_ns does not
pin ima_ns.

That the only time the ima_ns will be freed is when user_ns is freed,
and only time it will be changed is when user_ns is freed, or during
ima_fs_ns_init() (under smp_load_acquire) during a new mount.

So, if I create a new user_ns with a new ima_ns, and in there I
create a new user_ns again, it looks like ima_ns will be NULL in
the new user_ns?  Should it not be set to the parent->ima_ns?
(which would cause trouble for the way it's currently being
freed...)
