Helge Deller 9c9e44bb3d fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size
commit e64242caef upstream.

We need to prevent that users configure a screen size which is smaller than the
currently selected font size. Otherwise rendering chars on the screen will
access memory outside the graphics memory region.

This patch adds a new function fbcon_modechange_possible() which
implements this check and which later may be extended with other checks
if necessary.  The new function is called from the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO
ioctl handler in fbmem.c, which will return -EINVAL if userspace asked
for a too small screen size.
