The backlight core listens for blanking events and triggers a
backlight_update_status call so these extra calls are not
needed and can be removed.

Remove uneeded update_status call from chipsfb.c since the
backlight core now receives software blanking notifications
too.
Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
The backlight class wants notification whenever the console is blanked
but doesn't get this when hardware blanking fails and software blanking
is used. Changing FB_EVENT_BLANK to report both would be a behaviour
change which could confuse the console layer so add a new event for
software blanking and have the backlight class listen for both.

Currently its possible to build the backlight core as a module yet
compile the drivers into the kernel which gives missing symbols.
Fix.

nvidia_bl_set_power isn't needed since the backlight class handles
this by receiving fb events itself and calling update_status so
remove it.

backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.
backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.
Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.
Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

Since people use this code as an example, clean it up to
to use platform_*_drvdata instead of a global variable.

Remove excessive numbers of (un)likely()s in the backlight core.
There are no hot paths in this code so rely on compiler to do
the right thing.

Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure.
Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The
backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references
unloaded code.
