Description
Currently, the UserID subsystem expects the nearest PanDevice object in the tree to have its vsys attribute set. However, in the new vsys hierarchy where a Vsys object can represent the vsys, the UserID subsystem should take the Vsys object as the vsys to use.

Research direction
Start by tracing the UserID subsystem's lookup of the nearest PanDevice and inspect how the new Vsys hierarchy represents the active vsys. Verify the existing tests or add focused coverage for UserID objects under both PanDevice and Vsys parents; done means the Vsys object is used as the vsys when present.
