cifs: add new function to get unicode string length in bytes

Working in units of words means we do a lot of unnecessary conversion back
and forth. Standardize on bytes instead since that's more useful for
allocating buffers and such. Also, remove hostlen_fromUCS since the new
function has a similar purpose.
