Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 18/18] nls: Drop broken nls_utf8 module

NLS table for utf8 is broken and cannot be fixed.

Now that all filesystems are using utf8s_to_utf16s()/utf16s_to_utf8s()
functions for converting between UTF-8 and UTF-16, and functions
utf8_to_utf32()/utf32_to_utf8() for converting between UTF-8 and Unicode
code points, there is no need to have this broken utf8 NLS module in kernel
tree anymore.

There is no user of this utf8 NLS module, so completely drop it,

Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <pali@...nel.org>
