This is caused by the scrollback_delta overflowing. Historically, the
signed integer overflow sanitizer did not work in the kernel due to its
interaction with `-fwrapv` but this has since been changed [1] in the
newest version of Clang; It being re-enabled in the kernel with Commit
557f8c582a9ba8ab ("ubsan: Reintroduce signed overflow sanitizer").

Note that it would be difficult to reproduce this bug in a non-fuzzing
scenario as it requires inputting tons of scroll inputs via keyboard
before the scheduled console callback has had a chance to update.
Nonetheless, let's saturate scrollback_delta so it stays clamped to
integer bounds without wrapping around.

And what is actually broken, given signed overflow is well defined under the -fwrapv wings?

NACK, this is horrid.

Introduce a helper for this in overflow.h if we have none yet.
