[Hyper-V] linux-azure cifs mount error caused by missing nls_utf8.ko module

Installing linux-image-extra-4.11.0-1011-azure_4.11.0-1011.11_amd64.deb solves this issue, however it shouldn't be necessary from the beginning.

Plus, it adds more than needed:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Yes, let's add nls_utf8.ko to the regular kernel package.

Can someone verify this bug is fixed with the kernel in -proposed?
