syzbot is reporting OOB read bug in vc_do_resize() [1] caused by memcpy()
based on outdated old_{rows,row_size} values, for resize_screen() can
recurse into vc_do_resize() which changes vc->vc_{cols,rows} that outdates
old_{rows,row_size} values which were read before calling resize_screen().
Minimal fix might be to read vc->vc_{rows,size_row} after resize_screen().
A different fix might be to forbid recursive vc_do_resize() request.
I can't tell which fix is the better.
But since I guess that new_cols == vc->vc_cols && new_rows == vc->vc_rows
check could become true after returning from resize_screen(), and I assume
that not calling clear_selection() when resize_screen() will return error
is harmless, let's redo the check by moving resize_screen() earlier.
