** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification
+ 
+ Impact: Users attempting to build our xenial kernel tree with fuse as a
+ module get an error that current_in_userns in undefined. This is because
+ that symbol is not exported to modules.
+ 
+ Fix: Export the symbol. This is done in the upstream patches, but that
+ never got backported to xenial.
+ 
+ Regression Potential: Virtually zero.
