Yes, I agree. The other filesystems that take an Opt_uid as well do use
current_user_ns() and not init_user_ns. They also do a uid_valid()
check and fail the mount (or fallback to GLOBAL_ROOT_UID). So I think
that would look like this:

Again, I have not run tested this so we may just want to disable SPU_FS
with USER_NS until they can be tested together.
