[nouveau] Console font corruption

[Chris Halse Rogers]

With a non-default console font size set by dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, nouveau displays corrupted glyphs rendering the VT useless.

This looks to have been fixed upstream in commit 8af16649 - Fix fbcon corruption with font width not divisible by 8.

I'll verify & post a patch.
