[PATCH v2 2/2] tty/vt: Avoid passing struct console_font_op to con_font_copy()

[Peilin Ye]

con_font_op() is passing an entire `struct console_font_op *` to
con_font_copy(), but con_font_copy() only uses `op->height`. Additionally,
con_font_copy() is silently assigning the unsigned `op->height` to the
signed `con`, then pass it to fbcon_copy_font().

Let con_font_copy() and fbcon_copy_font() pass an unsigned int directly.
Also, add a comment in con_font_op() for less confusion, since ideally
`op->height` should not be used as a console index, as the field name
suggests.

This patch depends on patch "console: Remove dummy con_font_op() callback
implementations".

con_font_set(), con_font_get() and con_font_default() also pass an entire
`console_font_op`.

con_font_get() and con_font_default() actually update the structure (later
copied to userspace), so let them be.

con_font_set() does not update the structure, but it uses all fields of it
except `op`. Avoiding passing `console_font_op` to con_font_set() will
thus make its signature pretty long (6 parameters).

Changes in v2:
  - Remove redundant `con < 0` check in con_font_copy() (kernel test robot
    <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>)
  - Remove unnecessary range check in fbcon_copy_font(). con_font_copy()
    calls vc_cons_allocated(), which does the check
  - Do not Cc: stable
  - Rewrite the title and commit message accordingly
