The original patch should be safe to be merged.
Because we can disable or limit the creation of new namespaces only
by turning off the Kconfig options:
- CONFIG_USER_NS
- CONFIG_PID_NS
If those options are unset, the namespace type simply doesn’t exist
(no /proc/self/ns/user).
If they’re set, there isn’t a runtime knob (sysctl, proc, or sysfs) that can
disables them in general-purpose kernels.
