Subject: [ 018/108] TTY: Wrong unicode value copied in con_set_unimap()

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Liz Clark <liz.clark@...com>

commit 4a4c61b7ce26bfc9d49ea4bd121d52114bad9f99 upstream.

Bugzilla 40012: PIO_UNIMAP bug: error updating Unicode-to-font map
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40012

The unicode font map for the virtual console is a 32x32x64 table which
allocates rows dynamically as entries are added.  The unicode value
increases sequentially and should count all entries even in empty
rows.  The defect is when copying the unicode font map in con_set_unimap(),
the unicode value is not incremented properly.  The wrong unicode value
is entered in the new font map.
