Since 7da67c3f8b ("vconsole-setup: skip setfont(8) when the console
driver lacks font support") font_load_and_wait() probes the font with
KDFONTOP before running setfont(8). The kernel returns EINVAL for a vc
that is not in KD_TEXT, which is not treated as "no font support", so
systemd-vconsole-setup now fails with
Failed to check '/dev/tty1' has font support: Invalid argument
when run on an explicitly specified vc that a graphical splash (e.g.
plymouth) occupies, for instance from a unit ordered after getty@tty1.
Previously setfont(8) silently ignored this case: verify_source_vc()
accepts it with a notice that the font settings likely won't be applied,
and setup_remaining_vcs() skips such vcs. Do the same here, skip the
font setup and still load the keymap.
