vcsa: clamp header values when they don't fit
The /dev/vcsa* devices have a fixed char-sized header that stores the
screen geometry and cursor location. Let's make sure it doesn't contain
random garbage when those values exceed 255. If ever it becomes necessary
to convey larger screen info to user space then a larger header in the
not-yet-implemented /dev/vcsua* devices should be considered.
