I was by error assuming that fbcon_resize() cannot reject bogus rows/columns
and thus we need to add another callback via "struct fb_ops" for that purpose.
But fbcon_resize() does reject bogus rows/columns; it was simply because
resize_screen() did not call fbcon_resize() if vc->vc_mode == KD_GRAPHICS.
Thus, removing vc->vc_mode check alone is sufficient.

OK. Your suggested changes passed the test by me and by syzbot.

Subject: [PATCH v2] tty: vt: always invoke vc->vc_sw->con_resize callback

syzbot is reporting OOB write at vga16fb_imageblit() [1], for
resize_screen() from ioctl(VT_RESIZE) returns 0 without checking whether
requested rows/columns fit the amount of memory reserved for the graphical
screen if current mode is KD_GRAPHICS.

----------
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/kd.h>
#include <linux/vt.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        const int fd = open("/dev/char/4:1", O_RDWR);
        struct vt_sizes vt = { 0x4100, 2 };

        ioctl(fd, KDSETMODE, KD_GRAPHICS);
        ioctl(fd, VT_RESIZE, &vt);
        ioctl(fd, KDSETMODE, KD_TEXT);
        return 0;
}
----------

Allow framebuffer drivers to return -EINVAL, by moving
vc->vc_mode != KD_GRAPHICS check from resize_screen() to fbcon_resize().
