Move the dentries into the ima_namespace for reuse by virtualized

This doesn't work as implemented, I think.

What I would have preferred and what I tried to explain in the earlier
review was:
Keep the dentry stashing global since it is only needed for init_ima_ns.
Then struct ima_namespace becomes way smaller and simpler.
If you do that then it makes sense to remove the additional dget() in
securityfs_create_dentry() for non-init_ima_ns.
Then you can rely on auto-cleanup in .kill_sb() or on
ima_securityfs_init() failure and you only need to call
ima_fs_ns_free_dentries() if ns != init_ima_ns.
s/ns != init_ima_ns/ns == init_ima_ns/

IIuc, it seems you're currently doing one dput() too many since you're
calling securityfs_remove() in the error path for non-init_ima_ns which
relies on the previous increased dget() which we removed.

I thought that securityfs_remove() will now simply influence when a 
dentry is removed and freed. If we call it in the error cleanup path in 
non-init_user_ns case it would go away right there and leave nothing to 
do for .kill_sb() while an additional dget() would require the cleanup 
as well but do another cleanup then in .kill_sb() since that brings the 
reference count to 0 via the dput()s that it does. Am I wrong on this?


If you really want to move the dentry stashing into struct ima_namespace
even though it's really unnecessary then you may as well not care about
the auto-cleanup and keep that additional ima_fs_ns_free_dentries(ns)
call in .kill_sb(). But I really think not dragging dentry stashing into
struct ima_namespace is the correct way to go about this.


I moved the dentries into the ima_namespace so that each namespace holds 
a pointer to the dentries it owns and isolates them. We certainly 
wouldn't want to have IMA namespaces write over the current static 
variables and create a mess with what these are pointing to ( 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/security/integrity/ima/ima_fs.c#L359 
) and possible race conditions when doing parallel initialization (if 
that's possible at all). This also reduces the code size and we don't 
need two different implementations for init_user_ns and 
non-init_user_ns. So I don't quite understand whey we wouldn't want to 
have the dentries isolated via ima_namespace?
