Subject: [PATCH] vt_ioctl: make VT_RESIZEX behave like VT_RESIZE

syzbot is reporting UAF/OOB read at bit_putcs()/soft_cursor() [1][2], for
vt_resizex() from ioctl(VT_RESIZEX) allows setting font height larger than
actual font height calculated by con_font_set() from ioctl(PIO_FONT).
Since fbcon_set_font() from con_font_set() allocates minimal amount of
memory based on actual font height calculated by con_font_set(),
use of vt_resizex() can cause UAF/OOB read for font data.

VT_RESIZEX was introduced in Linux 1.3.3, but it is unclear that what
comes to the "+ more" part, and I couldn't find a user of VT_RESIZEX.

  #define VT_RESIZE   0x5609 /* set kernel's idea of screensize */
  #define VT_RESIZEX  0x560A /* set kernel's idea of screensize + more */

So far we are not aware of syzbot reports caused by setting non-zero value
to v_vlin parameter. But given that it is possible that nobody is using
VT_RESIZEX, we can try removing support for v_clin and v_vlin parameters.

Therefore, this patch effectively makes VT_RESIZEX behave like VT_RESIZE,
with emitting a message if somebody is still using v_clin and/or v_vlin
parameters.
