Yes, this here does the trick now for late init also with runc. The late 
uid adjustments are gone.

static int securityfs_ns_init_fs_context(struct fs_context *fc)
{
         int rc;

         if (fc->user_ns->ima_ns->late_fs_init) {
                 rc = fc->user_ns->ima_ns->late_fs_init(fc->user_ns);
                 if (rc)
                         return rc;
         }
         fc->ops = &securityfs_ns_context_ops;
         return 0;
}
