vt: defer kfree() of vc_screenbuf in vc_do_resize()
syzbot is reporting UAF bug in set_origin() from vc_do_resize() [1], for vc_do_resize() calls kfree(vc->vc_screenbuf) before calling set_origin(). Unfortunately, in set_origin(), vc->vc_sw->con_set_origin() might access vc->vc_pos when scroll is involved in order to manipulate cursor, but vc->vc_pos refers already released vc->vc_screenbuf until vc->vc_pos gets updated based on the result of vc->vc_sw->con_set_origin(). Preserving old buffer and tolerating outdated vc members until set_origin() completes would be easier than preventing vc->vc_sw->con_set_origin() from accessing outdated vc members.
