`struct console_font` is a UAPI structure, thus ideally should not be
used for kernel internal abstraction. Remove some dummy .con_font_set,
.con_font_default and .con_font_copy `struct consw` callback
implementations, to make it cleaner.

Patch "fbcon: Prevent global-out-of-bounds read in fbcon_copy_font()"
depends on this patch, so Cc: stable.
