[PATCH] tty vt: Fix a regression in command line edition

[Jean-Francois Moine]

From: Jean-FranÃois Moine <moinejf@xxxxxxx>

The commit 81732c3b2fede049a692e58a7ceabb6d18ffb18c
("Fix line garbage in virtual console on command line edition")
made a regression with some machines: some characters were not erased
after line edition.

This patch adjusts the number of moved characters and the size of the
region to be updated.

It may be applied on both kernels 3.6 and 3.7.
