FONT_8x8 and FONT_8x16 have the same default value line:
"default y if !SPARC && !FONTS"

I test run "make defconfig" for x86 will enable FONT_8x8 and FONT_8x16 at
the same time.

This patch fix it, because FONT_AUTOSELECT choice FONT_8x16, so
I decide to disable FONT_8x8, this patch will reduce size of kernel.

Whether FONT_8x8 or FONT_8x16 is used depends on your screen resolution,
cfr. lib/fonts/font.c:get_default_font().

Thanks for point out get_default_font, I know where I am wrong now :)
