[PATCH 1/2] Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros for font_6x8

From: Peilin Ye <hidden>

Recently, in commit 6735b4632def ("Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros
for built-in fonts"), we wrapped each of our built-in data buffers in a
`font_data` structure, in order to use the following macros on them, see
include/linux/font.h:

	#define REFCOUNT(fd)	(((int *)(fd))[-1])
	#define FNTSIZE(fd)	(((int *)(fd))[-2])
	#define FNTCHARCNT(fd)	(((int *)(fd))[-3])
	#define FNTSUM(fd)	(((int *)(fd))[-4])

	#define FONT_EXTRA_WORDS 4

Do the same thing to our new 6x8 font. For built-in fonts, currently we
only use FNTSIZE(). Since this is only a temporary solution for an
out-of-bounds issue in the framebuffer layer (see commit 5af08640795b
("fbcon: Fix global-out-of-bounds read in fbcon_get_font()")), all the
three other fields are intentionally set to zero in order to discourage
using these negative-indexing macros.
