I fixed this yesterday with late initialization:

So this would be the wrong place to do it? I moved it there because this 
is called late (upon mounting) when the configuration of the user 
namespace has completed.

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;
}
