From: Mingyu Wang <redacted>

When fbcon_do_set_font() fails (e.g., due to a memory allocation failure 
inside vc_resize() under heavy memory pressure), it jumps to the `err_out` 
label to roll back the console state. However, the current rollback logic 
forgets to restore the `hi_font` state, leading to a severe state machine 
corruption.

Earlier in the function, `set_vc_hi_font()` might be called to change
`vc->vc_hi_font_mask` and mutate the screen buffer. If `vc_resize()`
subsequently fails, the `err_out` path restores `vc_font.charcount`
but entirely skips rolling back the `vc_hi_font_mask` and the screen
buffer.

This mismatch leaves the terminal in a desynchronized state. Because
`vc_hi_font_mask` remains set, the VT subsystem will still accept
character indices greater than 255 from userspace and write them to the
screen buffer. Subsequent rendering calls (e.g., `fbcon_putcs()`) will
then use these inflated indices to access the reverted, 256-character
font array, leading to a deterministic out-of-bounds read and potential
kernel memory disclosure.

Fix this by adding the missing rollback logic for the `hi_font` mask
and screen buffer in the error path.
