Introduce a separate SECURITY_SELINUX_NS Kconfig option for enabling
SELinux namespaces and have it default to n since it is experimental.
Make the SECURITY_SELINUX_MAXNS and SECURITY_SELINUX_MAXNSDEPTH Kconfig
options depend on this new option.
This option only controls whether the SELinux namespace support is
exposed to userspace, not the underlying infrastructure support.
When set to n, the kernel APIs for unsharing the SELinux namespace
(/sys/fs/selinux/unshare) and for setting limits on SELinux namespaces
(/sys/fs/selinux/{maxns,maxnsdepth}) are not created and only a
single initial SELinux namespace is created during startup and
associated with all tasks. When set to y, the kernel APIs are created
and userspace can use them (if permitted by policy and constrained by
the limits) to unshare the SELinux namespace.

+ This enables (experimental) support for SELinux namespaces,
+ i.e the ability to create multiple SELinux namespaces where
+ each namespace has its own independent enforcing mode,
+ AVC, and policy, accessible through its own independent
+ selinuxfs instance. When a task unshares its SELinux namespace,
+ it is associated with a new child namespace whose initial
+ state is permissive with no policy loaded, and the task is assigned
+ a separate SID in the new namespace, initially the kernel SID,
+ which is likewise independent of its SID in ancestor namespaces.
+ Subsequent actions by the task and its descendants are checked
+ against the new namespace and all ancestor namespaces, using the
+ SID it has in each namespace for that namespace's checks. Objects
+ like inodes only have a single SID irrespective of the namespace
+ in which they are created or accessed. If the context associated
+ with a SID is not defined in a namespace, then it is treated as
+ the unlabeled SID for access checking purposes in that namespace.
+ The current kernel API for unsharing the SELinux namespace is to
+ write a "1" to /sys/fs/selinux/unshare; this is likely to change
+ before upstreaming. Experimental patches for libselinux and
+ systemd to use this support can be found in the selinuxns
+ branches of https://github.com/stephensmalley/selinux, which
+ provides a selinux_unshare() API that wraps the kernel interface,
+ and https://github.com/stephensmalley/systemd, which has
+ a modified systemd-nspawn that uses this API when called
+ with --selinux-namespace and a modified systemd to perform
+ SELinux initialization when started within a container that
+ has its own SELinux namespace. Userspace can also detect
+ whether it is running in a non-init SELinux namespace by
+ reading /sys/fs/selinux/unshare ("1" means it has been unshared,
+ "0" means it has not) but an API for this might not be retained.
