Subject: vgacon: fix out of bounds write to the scrollback buffer

References: bsc#1174205 CVE-2020-14331
The current vgacon's scroll up implementation uses a circural buffer
in vgacon_scrollback_cur. It always advances tail to prepare it for the
next write and caps it to zero if the next c->vc_size_row bytes won't fit.
But when we change the VT size (e.g. by VT_RESIZE) in the meantime, the new
line might not fit to the end of the scrollback buffer. This leads to various
crashes as vgacon_scrollback_update writes out of the buffer:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc900001752a0
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
RIP: 0010:mutex_unlock+0x13/0x30
...
Call Trace:
n_tty_write+0x1a0/0x4d0
tty_write+0x1a0/0x2e0
So check whether the line fits in the buffer and wrap if needed.
Fix CVE-2020-14331.
