[Patch] console: limit the range of VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE

[Amerigo Wang]

BuraphaLinux reported that we will trigger a mm warning when
we CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE=65536, this is because
mm cann't allocate so many pages. We should limit the range
of CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE, don't give a user
any chance to trigger that.
