Define (global) data structures to store ids, uids and gids, to which a
SID maps.  There are two separate trees, one for SID/uid and another one
for SID/gid.

A new type of key, cifs_idmap_key_type, is used.

Keys are instantiated and searched using credential of the root by
overriding and restoring the credentials of the caller requesting the key.

Id mapping functions are invoked under config option of cifs acl.
