Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros for built-in fonts
syzbot has reported an issue in the framebuffer layer, where a malicious user may overflow our built-in font data buffers. In order to perform a reliable range check, subsystems need to know `FONTDATAMAX` for each built-in font. Unfortunately, our font descriptor, `struct console_font` does not contain `FONTDATAMAX`, and is part of the UAPI, making it infeasible to modify it. For user-provided fonts, the framebuffer layer resolves this issue by reserving four extra words at the beginning of data buffers. Later, whenever a function needs to access them, it simply uses the following macros: Recently we have gathered all the above macros to <linux/font.h>. Let us do the same thing for built-in fonts, prepend four extra words (including `FONTDATAMAX`) to their data buffers, so that subsystems can use these macros for all fonts, no matter built-in or user-provided. This patch depends on patch "fbdev, newport_con: Move FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros into linux/font.h".
