FYI, we added some basic userns capability smarts to SELinux in Linux 4.7.

   selinux: distinguish non-init user namespace capability checks

   Distinguish capability checks against a target associated
   with the init user namespace versus capability checks against
   a target associated with a non-init user namespace by defining
   and using separate security classes for the latter.

   This is needed to support e.g. Chrome usage of user namespaces
   for the Chrome sandbox without needing to allow Chrome to also
   exercise capabilities on targets in the init user namespace.
