[PATCH] Revert "vc_screen: extract vcs_read_buf_header"

From: Jiri Slaby

This reverts commit b1c32fcfadf5593ab7a63261cc8a5747c36e627e, because
Syzkaller reports a use-after-free, a write in vcs_read:

vcs_read+0xaa7/0xb40 drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c:449

There are two issues with the patch:
1) vcs_read rounds the 'count' *up* to an even number. So if we read odd
bytes from the header (3 bytes in the reproducer), the second byte of
a (2-byte/ushort) write to temporary con_buf won't fit. It is because
with the patch applied, we only subtract the real number read (3 bytes)
and not the whole header (4 bytes).

2) in this scenario, we perform unaligned accesses now: there are
2-byte/ushort writes to odd addresses. Due to the same reason as
above.

Revert this for now, re-think and retry later.
