Can't do that because the commit message is wrong...
An sb *can* have non-init s_user_ns without FS_USERNS_MOUNT
if the mounter was running in non-init user ns, but had CAP_SYS_ADMIN
in init_user_ns.

Maybe not a very likely use case, but still cannot be asserted,
so we better remove the (*FS_USERNS_MOUNT*) remark
from comment and commit message.

True.
We can make it:

        struct mnt_namespace *mntns = mnt_ns_from_dentry(path.dentry);
        user_ns = mntns->user_ns;
        obj = mntns;

Thanks for the review!
