Subject[PATCH] tty: vt: initialize unicode screen buffer
From
syzbot reports kernel infoleak at vcs_read() [1], for buffer can be read
immediately after resize operation. Initialize buffer using kzalloc().

----------
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/fb.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct fb_var_screeninfo var = { };
const int fb_fd = open("/dev/fb0", 3);
ioctl(fb_fd, FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO, &var);
var.yres = 0x21;
ioctl(fb_fd, FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, &var);
return read(open("/dev/vcsu", O_RDONLY), &var, sizeof(var)) == -1;
}
