I got a UAF report in do_update_region() when I doing fuzz test.

After vgacon_set_origin() is called in set_origin(), the vc_origin is
set to vga_vram_base, the vc_pos should between vga_vram_base and
vga_vram_end. But we still use vc_screenbuf_size, if the vga_vram_size
is smaller than vc_screenbuf_size, vc_pos may be out of bound, using it
will cause a use-after-free(or out-of-bounds). Fix this by calling
vc_resize() if vga_vram_size is smaller than vc_screenbuf_size.
