Mainly in order to keep the counter updates near the place where the
character is read.  Also, in an earlier version of the patch, I used a
"continue" instead of the "break" statement three lines below.  For
that to work, the updates to s and len had to be moved up here.

"maxlen -= size" would be completely wrong, because size is the length
of the utf8 input and maxlen is the number of 16-bit slots remaining
in the output buffer.  A surrogate pair uses two 16-bit values,
therefore maxlen has to be decreased by 2.

So that the "(*outlen > FAT_LFN_LEN)" test below will work correctly.
If the maximum length were set to FAT_LFN_LEN then the test would
always fail.  If the maximum length were set to FAT_LFN_LEN + 1 then
the test would fail when the next character to be stored was a
surrogate pair.

I have no idea.  That test was already there, I didn't add or change it.
