[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 041/254] tty/vt: don't set font mappings on vc not supporting this

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Imre Deak <imre.deak at intel.com>

commit 9e326f78713a4421fe11afc2ddeac07698fac131 upstream.

We can call this function for a dummy console that doesn't support
setting the font mapping, which will result in a null ptr BUG. So check
for this case and return error for consoles w/o font mapping support.
