Thanks for the fix!
In case you're interested, it would be worth expanding
tool/testing/selftests/mount_setattr to verify that it's now impossible to use
an empty idmapping.

But note, that currently tool/testing/selftests/mount_setattr/ is broken
because the tests assume that tmpfs cannot be idmapped which hasn't been true
for a long time.
