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.
