4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6609cff65c5b184ab889880ef5d41189611ea05f upstream.
When kernel messages are printed to the console, they appear blank on
the unicode screen. This is because vt_console_print() is lacking a call
to vc_uniscr_putc(). However the later function assumes vc->vc_x is
always up to date when called, which is not the case here as
vt_console_print() uses it to mark the beginning of the display update.
This patch reworks (and simplifies) vt_console_print() so that vc->vc_x
is always valid and keeps the start of display update in a local variable
instead, which finally allows for adding the missing vc_uniscr_putc()
call.
