Subject: [PATCH] tty: vt, fix bogus division in csi_J

In csi_J(3), the third parameter of scr_memsetw (vc_screenbuf_size) is
divided by 2 inappropriatelly. But scr_memsetw expects size, not
count, because it divides the size by 2 on its own before doing actual
memset-by-words.

So remove the bogus division.
