vt: incomplete initialization of vc_tab_stop

Problem 1 (see patch below):
  vc_tab_stop is declared as an array of 8 unsigned ints in struct
  vc_data in include/linux/console_struct.h .
  In drivers/char/vt.c only 5 of these 8 unsigned ints get initialized
  leading to unintended tabulator placement on displays with more than
  160 columns text.

Problem 2 (open):
  Upcoming displays will have more than 256 columns of text leading to
  invalid memory access in drivers/char/vt.c during tabulator
  calculations:
    if (vc->vc_tab_stop[vc->vc_x >> 5] & (1 << (vc->vc_x & 31)))
	break;
