mnt_idmapping: return false when comparing two invalid ids
INVALID_VFS{U,G}ID represent ids which have no mapping in the target mnt_usersns. This can happen for a couple of different reasons -- the source id might be valid but has no mapping in mnt_userns, or the source id might have been invalid (either due to a failed mapping or because it was set to invalid to indicate it is uninitialized). This means that two arbitrary vfs{u,g}ids which are both invalid could represent two different underlying ids, or they could represent a failed mapping and an uninitialized value. In these situation the vfs{u,g}id equality functions evaluate these ids as equal, and care must be taken when comparing ids to avoid problems. It would be less error prone to always evaluate two invalid ids as not equal to each other, and to check explicitly for vfs{u,g}id validity when that is needed. Change all vfs{u,g}id equality functions to return false when both ids are invalid. Functions for checking whether an id is valid exist and are already being used by code which needs to check this.
