Other fs drivers are using iocharset= mount option for specifying charset.
So mark iocharset= mount option as preferred and deprecate nls= mount
option.

 
One idea is also make this change to fs/fc_parser.c and then when we
want we can drop support from all filesystem same time. This way we
can get more deprecated code off the fs drivers. Draw back is that
then every filesstem has this deprecated nls= option if it support
iocharsets option. But that should imo be ok.

Beware that iocharset= is required only for fs which store filenames in
some specific encoding (in this case extension to UTF-16). For fs which
store filenames in raw bytes this option should not be parsed at all.

Therefore I'm not sure if this parsing should be in global
fs/fc_parser.c file...
