Subject: [PATCH stable 4.14.y] vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_read() to avoid UAF

From: George Kennedy <george.kennedy@...cle.com>

commit 226fae124b2dac217ea5436060d623ff3385bc34 upstream.

After a call to console_unlock() in vcs_read() the vc_data struct can be
freed by vc_deallocate(). Because of that, the struct vc_data pointer
load must be done at the top of while loop in vcs_read() to avoid a UAF
when vcs_size() is called.

Syzkaller reported a UAF in vcs_size().
