Unless I am misreading something it actually gets worse.  You don't even
need a user namespace.  You can just call keyctl_join_session_keyring
and the named keyring of your choice will be created.

Plus there are various really weird things in their where the keyring
names of _tid, _pid, _ses, get reused over and over again.

So it looks like there are some significant things to fix.
