I thought that securityfs_remove() will now simply influence when a 
dentry is removed and freed. If we call it in the error cleanup path in 
non-init_user_ns case it would go away right there and leave nothing to 
do for .kill_sb() while an additional dget() would require the cleanup 
as well but do another cleanup then in .kill_sb() since that brings the 
reference count to 0 via the dput()s that it does. Am I wrong on this?

I moved the dentries into the ima_namespace so that each namespace holds 
a pointer to the dentries it owns and isolates them. We certainly 
wouldn't want to have IMA namespaces write over the current static 
variables and create a mess with what these are pointing to ( 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/security/integrity/ima/ima_fs.c#L359 
) and possible race conditions when doing parallel initialization (if 
that's possible at all). This also reduces the code size and we don't 
need two different implementations for init_user_ns and 
non-init_user_ns. So I don't quite understand whey we wouldn't want to 
have the dentries isolated via ima_namespace?
