Subject: [PATCH] fbcon: Fix memleak when fbcon_set_font() fails

syzkaller reported a memleak:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=7cc8bce62e201c60e36ef0133dab7f6b8afbc626

BUG: memory leak
unreferenced object 0xffff888111648000 (size 18448):
  backtrace:
    [<ffffffff8250c359>] kmalloc
    [<ffffffff8250c359>] fbcon_set_font+0x1a9/0x470
    [<ffffffff8262cd59>] con_font_set
    [<ffffffff8262cd59>] con_font_op+0x3a9/0x600
    ...

It's because when fbcon_do_set_font() fails in fbcon_set_font(), it
return error directly and doesn't free allocated memory 'new_data'.
