vt: don't use kmalloc() for the unicode screen buffer
commit 9a98e7a80f95378c9ee0c644705e3b5aa54745f1 upstream.
Even if the actual screen size is bounded in vc_do_resize(), the unicode
buffer is still a little more than twice the size of the glyph buffer
and may exceed MAX_ORDER down the kmalloc() path. This can be triggered
from user space.
Since there is no point having a physically contiguous buffer here,
let's avoid the above issue as well as reducing pressure on high order
allocations by using vmalloc() instead.
