Qianqiang Liu 5b97eebcce fbcon: Fix a NULL pointer dereference issue in fbcon_putcs
syzbot has found a NULL pointer dereference bug in fbcon.
Here is the simplified C reproducer:

struct param {
	uint8_t type;
	struct tiocl_selection ts;
};

int main()
{
	struct fb_con2fbmap con2fb;
	struct param param;

	int fd = open("/dev/fb1", 0, 0);

	con2fb.console = 0x19;
	con2fb.framebuffer = 0;
	ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &con2fb);

	param.type = 2;
	param.ts.xs = 0; param.ts.ys = 0;
	param.ts.xe = 0; param.ts.ye = 0;
	param.ts.sel_mode = 0;

	int fd1 = open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR, 0);
	ioctl(fd1, TIOCLINUX, &param);

	con2fb.console = 1;
	con2fb.framebuffer = 0;
	ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &con2fb);

	return 0;
}

After calling ioctl(fd1, TIOCLINUX, &param), the subsequent ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &con2fb)
causes the kernel to follow a different execution path:

 set_con2fb_map
  -> con2fb_init_display
   -> fbcon_set_disp
    -> redraw_screen
     -> hide_cursor
      -> clear_selection
       -> highlight
        -> invert_screen
         -> do_update_region
          -> fbcon_putcs
           -> ops->putcs

Since ops->putcs is a NULL pointer, this leads to a kernel panic.
To prevent this, we need to call set_blitting_type() within set_con2fb_map()
to properly initialize ops->putcs.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
