Subject: [PATCH] exfat: fix out-of-bounds in exfat_nls_to_ucs2()

After the loop that converts characters to ucs2 ends, the variable i 
may be greater than or equal to len. However, when checking whether the
last byte of p_cstring is NULL, the variable i is used as is, resulting
in an out-of-bounds read if i >= len.

Therefore, to prevent this, we need to modify the function to check
whether i is less than len, and if i is greater than or equal to len,
to check p_cstring[len - 1] byte.
