Subject: tty/vt/keyboard: fix OOB access in do_compute_shiftstate()

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 510cccb5b0c8868a2b302a0ab524da7912da648b upstream.

The size of individual keymap in drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c is NR_KEYS,
which is currently 256, whereas number of keys/buttons in input device (and
therefor in key_down) is much larger - KEY_CNT - 768, and that can cause
out-of-bound access when we do

	sym = U(key_maps[0][k]);

with large 'k'.

To fix it we should not attempt iterating beyond smaller of NR_KEYS and
KEY_CNT.

Also while at it let's switch to for_each_set_bit() instead of open-coding
it.
