In theory this uid/gid shifting should have already been done for you
and all of the above code should be unnecessary.  What is supposed to
happen is that the mount of securityfs_ns in the new user namespace
should pick up a superblock s_user_ns for that new user namespace.  Now
inode_alloc() uses i_uid_write(inode, 0) which maps back through the
s_user_ns to obtain the owner of the user namespace.

What can happen is that if you do the inode allocation before (or even
without) writing to the uid_map file, it maps back through an empty map
and ends up with -1 for i_uid ... is this what you're seeing?
