I don't think fs/unicode is the right place for these very specific
filesystem functions, just because they happen to use unicode.  It is an
encoding library, it doesn't care about dentries, nor should know how to
handle them.  It exposes a simple api to manipulate and convert utf8 strings.

I saw change was after the desire to not have these functions polluting
the VFS hot path, but that has nothing to do with placing them here.

Would libfs be better?  or a casefolding library in fs/casefold.c?
