[PATCH] FAT: don't use "utf8" charset and NLS_DEFAULT

Recently, some distributors have set "utf8" to NLS_DEFAULT, therefore, FAT uses the "iocharset=utf8" as default. But, since "iocharset=utf8" doesn't provide the function (lower <-> upper conversion) which FAT needs, so FAT can't provide suitable behavior.

does Microsoft store UTF8 in vfat ?

Long names are UTF16-encoded IIRC.
