[PATCH v3 3/3] fbcon: Retry rotated font allocation after failure

[Yao Yiqi <yyaqia@gmail.com>]

From: Yao Yiqi <yaoyiqi3@huawei.com>

fbcon_rotate_font() records the font, its geometry and the rotation it
is about to handle in par->rotated before calling font_data_rotate().
If the allocation fails, the error path clears par->rotated.buf, but
the recorded font, geometry and rotation already look up to date, so
the next call takes the early-out and never retries. The rotated
putcs/cursor ops keep returning early on the NULL buffer and the
console stays blank until a font or rotation with a different key is
installed, even once memory is available again.

Also test par->rotated.buf in the early-out, so a failed allocation is
retried the next time fbcon_rotate_font() runs: at the next
fbcon_switch(), fbcon_modechanged() or font change.

Fixes: e4ef723d8975 ("fbcon: Avoid OOB font access if console rotation fails")

Changes in v2:

- The early-out now also compares the font geometry (previous patch in
  this series); the retry covers the combined key.
