Currently, only single uid/gid idmapping supported. However, in userns, multiple idmappings can be setted. Besides, in the fuse-overlayfs project, multiple idmappings are supported.

This commit will be used to support kata-containers/kata-containers#8170. Currently, there is no idmap mount support for virtiofs in kernel side. So the support from the virtiofs server side can be used as a temporary workaround.
This comment containerd/containerd#7063 (comment) provides a way to solve the rootfs' idmapping problem. Although it is not used in their implementation at last, but can be used for us to support userns in kata in the first place.
