[PATCH 3.12 022/127] vt: clear selection before resizing

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Scot Doyle <lkml14@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 009e39ae44f4191188aeb6dfbf661b771dbbe515 upstream.

When resizing a vt its selection may exceed the new size, resulting in
an invalid memory access [1]. Clear the selection before resizing.
