After memory allocation failure vc_allocate() doesn't clean up data
which has been initialized in visual_init(). In case of fbcon this
leads to divide-by-0 in fbcon_init() on next open of the same tty.

memory allocation in vc_allocate() may fail here:
1097:     vc->vc_screenbuf = kzalloc(vc->vc_screenbuf_size, GFP_KERNEL);

on next open() fbcon_init() skips vc_font.data initialization:
1088:     if (!p->fontdata) {

division by zero in fbcon_init() happens here:
1149:     new_cols /= vc->vc_font.width;

Additional check is needed in fbcon_deinit() to prevent
usage of uninitialized vc_screenbuf:

1251:        if (vc->vc_hi_font_mask && vc->vc_screenbuf)
1252:                set_vc_hi_font(vc, false);
