Subject[PATCH] Revert "fbcon: Use kzalloc() in fbcon_prepare_logo()"
Date
This reverts commit a6a00d7e8ffd78d1cdb7a43f1278f081038c638f.

The syzbot report turned out to be a false possitive, caused by a KMSAN
problem. Indeed, after allocating the buffer, it is fully initialized
using scr_memsetw(). Hence there is no point in allocating zeroed
memory, while this does incur some overhead.
