OK, I think I figured it out.  When I applied your patches, it was on
top of my existing ones, so I had to massage them a bit.

Your problem is the securityfs inode creation is triggered inside
create_user_ns, which means it happens *before* ushare writes to the
proc/self/uid_map file, so the securityfs_inodes are always created on
an empty mapping and i_write_uid always sets the inode uid to -1.

I don't see this because my setup for everything is triggered off the
first use of the IMA namespace.  You'd need to have some type of lazy
setup of the inodes as well to give unshare time to install the uid/gid
mappings.
