[PATCH 01/10] fbcon: Avoid OOB font access if console rotation fails

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Clear the font buffer if the reallocation during console rotation fails
in fbcon_rotate_font(). The putcs implementations for the rotated buffer
will return early in this case. See [1] for an example.

Currently, fbcon_rotate_font() keeps the old buffer, which is to small
for the rotated font. Printing to the rotated console with a high-enough
character code will overflow the font buffer.
