I don't think this is correct. This would not error out if the both
userns are the same. Because the same patern (check uid if same userns,
otherwise only capability) shows up in several parts of the code, maybe
this should be factored out.

Would it not possible to add another function (nsown_capable?) that
checks against the own userns?
