$unique_users = array();

foreach ($docs as $doc_id => $users)
{
  foreach ($users as $user_id)
  {
    if (!isset($unique_users[$user_id]))
      $unique_users[$user_id] = array($doc_id);
    else
      $unique_users[$user_id][] = $doc_id;
  }
}

echo count($unique_users);  // number of users

var_dump($unique_users[1]); // list of documents user_id #1 is in

Add all the ids from the first element to an array. Then continue to loop through the other elements and keep only the ids that are also in the current element.
