Subject: [PATCHv3 3/3] VT: Bump font size limitation to 64x128 pixels

This moves 32x32 font size limitation checking down to drivers, so that
fbcon can allow large fonts.

We still keep a limitation to 64x128 pixels so as to have a simple bounded
allocation for con_font_get and in the userland kbd tool. That glyph size
will however be enough to have 128x36 characters on a "16/9 8K display".

V1 -> V2: Switch con_font_get to kvmalloc/kvfree instead of kmalloc/kfree
V1 -> V3: Drop sisusb_con.c change, it was phased out
