Enable multiple instances of securityfs by keying each instance with a
pointer to the user namespace it belongs to.

Since we do not need the pinning of the filesystem for the virtualization
case, limit the usage of simple_pin_fs() and simpe_release_fs() to the
case when the init_user_ns is active. This simplifies the cleanup for the
virtualization case where usage of securityfs_remove() to free dentries
is not needed anymore.

For the initial securityfs, i.e. the one mounted in the host userns mount,
nothing changes. The rules for securityfs_remove() are as before and it is
still paired with securityfs_create(). Specifically, a file created via
securityfs_create_dentry() in the initial securityfs mount still needs to
be removed by a call to securityfs_remove(). Creating a new dentry in the
initial securityfs mount still pins the filesystem like it always did.
Consequently, the initial securityfs mount is not destroyed on
umount/shutdown as long as at least one user of it still has dentries that
it hasn't removed with a call to securityfs_remove().

Prevent mounting of an instance of securityfs in another user namespace
than it belongs to. Also, prevent accesses to files and directories by
a user namespace that is neither the user namespace it belongs to
nor an ancestor of the user namespace that the instance of securityfs
belongs to. Do not prevent access if securityfs was bind-mounted and
therefore the init_user_ns is the owning user namespace.

Could you add a sentence here explaining why securityfs_remove() isn't
needed in the virtualization case?

Really nice!   A minor nit is that "Suggested-by" should go before your
"Signed-off-by".

At this point the reason is that simple_pin_fs() is not used for the 
virtualization case.

Maybe it should say: ... to free dentries is *therefore* not needed anymore.

Probably it's obvious, but I was looking for something along the lines
of, "The securityfs file or directory is automatically removed based on
reference count."

No need to update it.
