Some sort of indicator that gets stashed in struct ima_ns that the file
does not get recreated on consecutive mounts. That shouldn't be hard to
fix.

Not, that doesn't work. You can't just call d_delete() and dput() and
even if I wouldn't advise it. And you also can't do this without taking
the inode lock on the directory.
simple_rmdir()/simple_unlink() take care to update various inode fields
in the parent dir and handle link counts. This really wants to be sm
like

	struct inode *parent_inode;

	parent_inode = d_inode(dentry->d_parent);
	inode_lock(parent_inode);
	if (simple_positive(dentry)) {
		dget(dentry);
		if (d_is_dir(dentry)
			simple_unlink(parent_inode, dentry);
		else
			simple_unlink(parent_inode, dentry);
		d_delete(dentry);
		dput(dentry);
	}
	inode_unlock(parent_inode);
