virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack
commit c4baad50297d84bde1a7ad45e50c73adae4a2192 upstream. put_chars() stuffs the buffer it gets into an sg, but that buffer may be on the stack. This breaks with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y (for me, it manifested as printks getting turned into NUL bytes). Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
