fs: document and rename fsid helpers
Vivek pointed out that the fs{g,u}id_into_mnt() naming scheme can be misleading as it could be understood as implying they do the exact same thing as i_{g,u}id_into_mnt(). The original motivation for this naming scheme was to signal to callers that the helpers will always take care to map the k{g,u}id such that the ownership is expressed in terms of the mnt_users. Get rid of the confusion by renaming those helpers to something more sensible. Al suggested mapped_fs{g,u}id() which seems a really good fit. Usually filesystems don't need to bother with these helpers directly only in some cases where they allocate objects that carry {g,u}ids which are either filesystem specific (e.g. xfs quota objects) or don't have a clean set of helpers as inodes have.
