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.
