This lays the ground work for enabling casefolding and encryption at the
same time for ext4 and f2fs. A future set of patches will enable that
functionality.

These unify the highly similar dentry_operations that ext4 and f2fs both
use for casefolding. In addition, they improve d_hash by not requiring a
new string allocation.

Daniel Rosenberg (4):
  unicode: Add utf8_casefold_hash
  fs: Add standard casefolding support
  f2fs: Use generic casefolding support
  ext4: Use generic casefolding support

Ted, are you interested in taking this through the ext4 tree for 5.9?

Ping?

Unfortunately this patchset got ignored for 5.9.

Ted, will you have any interest in taking this patchset for 5.10?  Or should
Jaegeuk just take patches 1-3 via the f2fs tree?

fyi; I think I can merge 1-3, if Al has no concern on 1 & 2. 

The fscrypt tree is also an option, but I feel it's not really appropriate since
this patchset is just a refactoring of the existing casefolding support.

More reviews on patches 1-2 would be appreciated too.  So far just Gabriel and I
have reviewed them.  I was hoping that other people would review them too.
