user_ns: Introduce user_nsmap_uid and user_ns_map_gid.
Define what happens when a we view a uid from one user_namespace in another user_namepece. - If the user namespaces are the same no mapping is necessary. - For most cases of difference use overflowuid and overflowgid, the uid and gid currently used for 16bit apis when we have a 32bit uid that does fit in 16bits. Effectively the situation is the same, we want to return a uid or gid that is not assigned to any user. - For the case when we happen to be mapping the uid or gid of the creator of the target user namespace use uid 0 and gid as confusing that user with root is not a problem.
