1.  No ,  we need this one.

because image maybe don't  install any locale except glibc default C 
locale, like below:

root at qemux86:~# locale -a
C
POSIX

if systemd set to C.UTF-8,   any image need to install C.UTF-8 locale by 
default, but only C is default locale.

with this patch,  sysVinit and systemd both set to default C locale.


2. patch 2/2 glibc: Add a C.UTF-8 locale

This patch is not necessary, it is just for add support of C.UTF-8 
locale.  if any package depend on it in the future,  it can install

this locale.


Add this patch just because I noticed most of major distro have support 
this locale. not for fix  "** Failed to set locale "".
