[PATCH v3 08/25] cred: add kfs{g,u}id

After the introduction of fsid mappings we need to carefully handle
single-superblock filesystems that are visible in user namespaces. This
specifically concerns proc and sysfs. For those filesystems we want to continue
looking up fsid in the id mappings of the relevant user namespace. We can
either do this by dynamically translating between these fsids or we simply keep
them around with the other creds. The latter option is not just simpler but
also more performant since we don't need to do the translation from fsid
mappings into id mappings on the fly.
