[PATCH master] font: fbconsole: fix underflow when printing non-ASCII characters

With signed characters, non-ASCII characters (i.e. valued >= 128)
are negative and remain so when casted to int.
find_font_index will thus multiply the index with a negative number and
look for font data before the actual start of the font.
A cast to unsigned fixes this, because all fonts that trigger this if
clause's branch have 256 characters.
Fixes: 27f79c05ab42 ("video: implement framebuffer console")
