Switch set*id() calls to lookup fsids in the fsid mappings. If no fsid mappings
are setup the behavior is unchanged, i.e. fsids are looked up in the id
mappings.

Here the "kfsgid" is the new filesystem GID as translated by the
special fsgid mapping...

... but the "kfsgid" of the creds struct is translated by the normal
gid mapping...
+       new->fsgid = kfsgid;
... and the local "kfsgid" is stored into the "fsgid" member.

This is pretty hard to follow. Can you come up with some naming scheme
that is clearer and where one name is always used for the
normally-translated fsgid and another name is always used for the
specially-translated fsgid? E.g. something like "pfsgid" (with the "p"
standing for "process", because it uses the same id mappings as used
for process identities) for the IDs translated via the normal gid
mapping?
