Subject: [PATCH 5.10 035/545] fbcon: Fix boundary checks for fbcon=vc:n1-n2 parameters

From: Helge Deller <deller@....de>

commit cad564ca557f8d3bb3b1fa965d9a2b3f6490ec69 upstream.

The user may use the fbcon=vc:<n1>-<n2> option to tell fbcon to take
over the given range (n1...n2) of consoles. The value for n1 and n2
needs to be a positive number and up to (MAX_NR_CONSOLES - 1).
The given values were not fully checked against those boundaries yet.

To fix the issue, convert first_fb_vc and last_fb_vc to unsigned
integers and check them against the upper boundary, and make sure that
first_fb_vc is smaller than last_fb_vc.
