virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687629

commit c4baad50 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).
