Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] Make UTF-8 encoding loadable

utf8data.h_shipped has a large database table which is an auto-generated
decodification trie for the unicode normalization functions and it is not
necessary to carry this large table in the kernel.
Goal is to make UTF-8 encoding loadable by converting it into a module
and adding a layer between the filesystems and the utf8 module which will
load the module whenever any filesystem that needs unicode is mounted.

1st patch in the series resolves the warning reported by kernel test robot
and 2nd patch fixes the incorrect use of utf8_unload() in ext4 and
f2fs filesystems.

Unicode is the subsystem and utf8 is a charachter encoding for the
subsystem, hence 3rd and 4th patches in the series are renaming functions
and file name to unicode for better understanding the difference between
UTF-8 module and unicode layer.

Last patch in the series adds the layer and utf8 module and also uses
static_call() function introducted for preventing speculative execution
attacks.

---
Changes in v3
- Add a patch which checks if utf8 is loaded before calling utf8_unload()
in ext4 and f2fs filesystems
- Return error if strscpy() returns value < 0
- Correct the conditions to prevent NULL pointer dereference while
accessing functions via utf8_ops variable.
- Add spinlock to avoid race conditions.
- Use static_call() for preventing speculative execution attacks.

Changes in v2
- Remove the duplicate file from the last patch.
- Make the wrapper functions inline.
- Remove msleep and use try_module_get() and module_put()
for ensuring that module is loaded correctly and also
doesn't get unloaded while in use.
- Resolve the warning reported by kernel test robot.
- Resolve all the checkpatch.pl warnings.

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] fs: unicode: Use strscpy() instead of strncpy()

Following warning was reported by Kernel Test Robot.

In function 'utf8_parse_version',
inlined from 'utf8_load' at fs/unicode/utf8mod.c:195:7:
>> fs/unicode/utf8mod.c:175:2: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 12 equals
destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
175 | strncpy(version_string, version, sizeof(version_string));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The -Wstringop-truncation warning highlights the unintended
uses of the strncpy function that truncate the terminating NULL
character from the source string.
Unlike strncpy(), strscpy() always null-terminates the destination string,
hence use strscpy() instead of strncpy().

Fixes: 9d53690f0d4e5 (unicode: implement higher level API for string handling)

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] fs: Check if utf8 encoding is loaded before calling utf8_unload()

utf8_unload is being called if CONFIG_UNICODE is enabled.
The ifdef block doesn't check if utf8 encoding has been loaded
or not before calling the utf8_unload() function.
This is not the expected behavior since it would sometimes lead
to unloading utf8 even before loading it.
Hence, add a condition which will check if sb->encoding is NOT NULL
before calling the utf8_unload().

Usually, no spaces between variable declarations

Other than that,

Just to mention this used to be safe, since it was just doing a
kfree(NULL), but won't be anymore after the rest of this series.
