There is something fishy here.  Concerningly, the fstests test doesn't
catch it.

utf8_validate is defined as:

  int utf8_validate(const struct unicode_map *um, const struct qstr *str)

Which returns 0 on success and !0 on error. Thus, when casting to bool,
the return code should be negated.

But generic/556 doesn't fail. That's because we are over cautious, and
also check the string at the end of generic_ci_d_hash.  So we never
really reach utf8_validate in the tested case.

But if you comment the final if in generic_ci_d_hash, you'll see this
patchset regresses the fstests case generic/556 over ext4.

We really need the check in both places, though.  We don't want to rely
on the behavior of generic_ci_d_hash to block invalid filenames, as that
might change.
