Thanks a lot for noticing this!
Yes, it's an oversight and examining the code I can see that it's an
actual user-visible regression: max_inotify_instances controls time
namespaces limit.

I've just sent a patch to fix the issue, Cc'ing @stable:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-api/20200406171342.128733-1-dima@xxxxxxxxxx/

Thanks again,
          Dmitry
