As we continue to discuss this, I'm beginning to think that having a
dedicated object class for the userns might be a good idea.  I believe
I was the one who gave you these code snippets, so feel free to blame
me for the respin ;)

This is what I'm thinking:

  static int selinux_userns_create(const struct cred *cred)
  {
    u32 sid = current_sid();

    return avc_has_perm(&selinux_state, sid, sid,
                        SECCLASS_USER_NAMESPACE,
                        USER_NAMESPACE__CREATE, NULL);
  }

The above would need to change to:

  { "user_namespace",
    { "create", NULL } }
