Two concerns here.
1) When adding a new entry you recompute the hash where previously that
   was not done.  I believe that will slow down adding of new entries.

2) Using hash_32 for uids is an interesting choice.  hash_32 discards
   the low bits.  Last I checked for uids the low bits were the bits
   that were most likely to be different and had the most entropy.

   I'm not certain how multiplying by the GOLDEN_RATION_PRIME_32 will
   affect things but I would be surprised if it shifted all of the
   randomness from the low bits to the high bits.

And just a nit.  struct user is essentially orthogonal to the user namespace
at this point, making the description of the patch a little weird.
