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.
