3.2.85-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyu...@google.com>
commit 32b2921e6a7461fe63b71217067a6cf4bddb132f upstream.
Size of kmalloc() in vc_do_resize() is controlled by user.
Too large kmalloc() size triggers WARNING message on console.
Put a reasonable upper bound on terminal size to prevent WARNINGs.
