The utf8 function seems didn't return the error for invalid char.

This is quick hack though, this should return -EINVAL for invalid char
like nls.  Can you try this?

Um..., probably, if utf8s_to_utf16s() returned the both of the error and
converted length to handle invalid char by caller, it would be better.
However, the user of it seems to be only vfat.
