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

Shreeya Patel [off-list ref] writes:
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().
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.
