[PATCH v2] vt: don't use kmalloc() for the unicode screen buffer

[Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>]

Even if the actual screen size is bounded in vc_do_resize(), the unicode 
buffer is still a little more than twice the size of the glyph buffer
and may exceed MAX_ORDER down the kmalloc() path. This can be triggered
from user space.

Since there is no point having a physically contiguous buffer here, 
let's avoid the above issue as well as reducing pressure on high order
allocations by using vmalloc() instead.

Changes since v1:

- Added missing include, found by kbuild test robot.
  Strange that my own build doesn't complain.
