Well, if you can find a way to tell the userspace FUSE daemon to know
that the mount is being done by the same user as the existing mount,
you don't need (or want) to check the credentials - you want the FUSE
daemon to tell the kernel code which superblock to reuse.
This hack is a bit nasty - namespace per login, copying mounts
from another login's namespace - but it would work.
