From: ChenXiaoSong <chenxiaosong@kylinos.cn>
The usage of `nfsidmap` has been updated(e.g., use `-t 600` set the
expiration timer), keep it consistent with nfsidmap manual (Link[1]).

+The idmapper system uses four key descriptions:

description. The serialized key is first converted into a key_serial_t, and

"uid:user@domain".
