[PATCH 3/3] fbcon: Fix global-out-of-bounds read in fbcon_get_font()

fbcon_get_font() is reading out-of-bounds. A malicious user may resize
`vc->vc_font.height` to a large value, causing fbcon_get_font() to
read out of `fontdata`.

fbcon_get_font() handles both built-in and user-provided fonts.
Fortunately, recently we have added FONT_EXTRA_WORDS support for built-in
fonts, so fix it by adding range checks using FNTSIZE(). 

This patch depends on patch "fbdev, newport_con: Move FONT_EXTRA_WORDS
macros into linux/font.h", and patch "Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS
macros for built-in fonts".
