Subject: [PATCH] tty/vt: don't set font mappings on vc not supporting this

commit 9e326f78713a4421fe11afc2ddeac07698fac131 upstream

We can call this function for a dummy console that doesn't support
setting the font mapping, which will result in a null ptr BUG. So check
for this case and return error for consoles w/o font mapping support.

backporting for the first time so not exactly sure if the format is ok.
