Subject: [PATCH] doc: idmappings: fix an error and rephrase a paragraph

From: "GONG, Ruiqi" <gongruiqi1@...wei.com>

If the modified paragraph is referring to the idmapping mentioned in the
previous paragraph (i.e. `u0:k10000:r10000`), then it is `u0` that the
upper idmapset starts with, not `u1000`.

Fix this error and rephrase this paragraph a bit to make this reference
more explicit.

 an idmapping will be written as ``u0:k10000:r10000``.
 
-For example, the id ``u1000`` is an id in the upper idmapset or "userspace
-idmapset" starting with ``u1000``. And it is mapped to ``k11000`` which is a

 A kernel id is always created by an idmapping. Such idmappings are associated
 with user namespaces. Since we mainly care about how idmappings work we're not
