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

Commit Message

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@intel.com>)
  - 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

I'm not sure switching from int to unsigned just here makes much sense.
All the console code is still using int con to index all the various
arrays (I just checked fbcon.c code), and using int to index arrays is
pretty standard. As long as we have the con < 0 check to catch evil
userspace.

There's still the switch from op to int for con_font_copy, but I think
that's better done as part of the larger cleanup we already discussed. And
then maybe also include patch 1 from this series in that rework.

Yeah, for these one of the arguments should be the new font_desc, so
that we can remove the op stuff properly. Opening up all the arguments
without the font_desc doesn't make sense imo.
