    Fix minor utf8-to-ucs2s read overrun bug
    
    k5_utf8s_to_ucs2s() reads and ignores one extra byte from the input
    string before terminating its loop, possibly overrunning the input
    buffer of its caller.  This overrun is typically without consequence,
    but can show up in tools like asan or valgrind during RC4
    string-to-key operations.  Fix the bug by swapping the order of the
    loop conditions.
