The issue is a lot deeper than a missing permission check.  sb->s_user_ns
was is improperly set as well.  So in addition to the filesystem being
mounted when it should not be mounted, so things are not allow that should
be.

We are practically to the release of 4.16 and there is no agreement between
Al Viro and myself on what the code should looks like to fix things properly.
So revert the code to what it was before so that we can take our time
and discuss this properly.
