[RFC PATCH 00/20] fs: Remove usage of broken nls_utf8 and drop it

["Pali Rohár" <pali@kernel.org>]

Module nls_utf8 is broken in several ways. It does not support (full)
UTF-8, despite its name. It cannot handle 4-byte UTF-8 sequences and
tolower/toupper table is not implemented at all. Which means that it is
not suitable for usage in case-insensitive filesystems or UTF-16
filesystems (because of e.g. missing UTF-16 surrogate pairs processing).

This is RFC patch series which unify and fix iocharset=utf8 mount
option in all fs drivers and converts all remaining fs drivers to use
utf8s_to_utf16s(), utf16s_to_utf8s(), utf8_to_utf32(), utf32_to_utf8
functions for implementing UTF-8 support instead of nls_utf8.

So at the end it allows to completely drop this broken nls_utf8 module.

For more details look at email thread where was discussed fs unification:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20200102211855.gg62r7jshp742d6i@pali/t/#u

This patch series is mostly untested and presented as RFC. Please let me
know what do you think about it and if is the correct way how to fix
broken UTF-8 support in fs drivers. As explained in above email thread I
think it does not make sense to try fixing whole NLS framework and it is
easier to just drop this nls_utf8 module.

Note: this patch series does not address UTF-8 fat case-sensitivity issue:
