Can you rename this to something clearer, e.g. userns_setgroups_mode?

Would it make more sense to put strings like "allow" and "deny" in
here? That way, future extensions could add additional values.

This is now incomprehensible because of the gid_mapping_possible
thing. If you renamed gid_mapping_possible to
userns_setgroup_allowed, then this could be added to the
implementation, and this would all make sense (not to mention avoiding
duplicating this thing).

I still don't see why egid is any better than fsgid here.

CAP_SYS_ADMIN? This isn't setting a gid in the namespace; it's
reconfiguring the namespace.

I would disallow this if gid_map has been written in the interest of sanity.

I don't think that any barriers are needed. If you ever observe
setgroups_allowed == 0, it will stay that way forever.
