console: limit the range of VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE
BuraphaLinux reported that we will trigger a mm warning when we CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE=65536, this is because mm cann't allocate so many pages. We should limit the range of CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE, don't give a user any chance to trigger that.
