userns: improve uid/gid map collision detection

Initial implementation of the uid/gid maps (/proc/<pid>/{u,g}id_map) will
enforce that the UID and GID maps be written in strict order as a simple
way to check for range collision:
local id mapped to count/range
0 1000 50
(ids 0-50 get mapped to 1000-1050)
100 2120 10
500 5000 200
so for each new entry, local id must be bigger than last local id (plus
count) and the ids it maps to also needs to be bigger than the last
entry (plus count).

This makes impossible to have a use case like this:
local id mapped to count/range
0 1000 1
48 500 20

because while 48+20 > 0+1, 500+20 < 1000+1.

This patch implements a more elaborate collision detection allowing any
order to be used.

v2: improved the patch description as requested by Andrew
