Fwiw, it's not allowed to create devices in userns as that would be a
massive attack vector. But it is possible since 5.<some version> to
create whiteouts in userns for the sake of overlayfs. So iirc that
creating a whiteout is just passing 0 as dev_t:

mknodat(t_dir1_fd, CHRDEV1, S_IFCHR | S_ISGID | 0755, 0)

but you'd need to detect whether the kernel allows this and skip the
test on EPERM when it is a userns test.

Sidenote: I really need to rename the test binary to something other
than idmapped-mounts.c as this tests a lot of generic vfs stuff that has
nothing to do with them.

In any case, I pulled and tested this:
