Richard Purdie 37ce69a57f backlight: Rework backlight/fb interaction simplifying, lots ...

fb_info->bl_mutex is badly thought out and the backlight class doesn't
need it if the framebuffer/backlight register/unregister order is
consistent, particularly after the backlight locking fixes.

Fix the drivers to use the order:

backlight_device_register()
register_framebuffer()
unregister_framebuffer()
backlight_device_unregister()

and turn bl_mutex into a lock for the bl_curve data only.
