Subject: [RFC] unicode: Completion of error handling

Hello,

It can be determined (also with the help of some source code analysis tools)
that error detection (and corresponding exception handling) is incomplete
in this source file.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.18-rc4/source/fs/unicode/mkutf8data.c
https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/252.html

How do you think about to improve affected implementation details?

Regards,
Markus
