Comment 6 for bug 1932523

Thanks, I have forward-ported the patch, added a commit message and pushed the patch upstream:

https://repo.or.cz/iotop.git/commit/443737ec620a699286b9b2e44dbcaac53f553812

At some point in the next few weeks I'll make a new release, upload it to Debian and get it synced to Ubuntu.

Since the patch is only a workaround, it would be good to have a proper fix; guess the encoding using chardet or similar and coerce the bytes into Unicode. Any help with that is welcome.
