allow systemd_logind_t init_var_run_t:chr_file write;

audit2allow shows me that the above is attempted on Debian/Unstable.  What's 
this inaccessible directory about anyway?

systemd-userruntimedir (245) now also creates it in /run/user/%{USERID}

probably used for InaccessiblePath= directive but I am not sure.

The relevant code has this comment:

/* Set up inaccessible nodes now so they're available if we decide to 
use them with user namespaces. */

Yes, these are bind mounted over the path which is wanted inaccessible. 
Perhaps this could be improved by giving them a dedicated label and then 
some new TE rules could prevent anything other than PID1 from managing 
them. Now if a service has CAP_SYS_ADMIN and is not blocked by seccomp 
filters from using mount and umount system calls, it could dismantle the 
bind mount.
