Subject: [PATCH 5.10 087/116] vt_ioctl: fix array_index_nospec in vt_setactivate

From: Jakob Koschel <jakobkoschel@...il.com>

commit 61cc70d9e8ef5b042d4ed87994d20100ec8896d9 upstream.

array_index_nospec ensures that an out-of-bounds value is set to zero
on the transient path. Decreasing the value by one afterwards causes
a transient integer underflow. vsa.console should be decreased first
and then sanitized with array_index_nospec.
