backlight: Remove fb_blank from struct backlight_properties

Remove the field fb_blank from struct backlight_properties and remove
all code that still sets or reads it. Backlight blank status is now
tracked exclusively in struct backlight_properties.state.

The core backlight code keeps the fb_blank and state fields in sync,
but doesn't do anything else with fb_blank. Several drivers initialize
fb_blank to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK to enable the backlight. This is already
the default for the state field. So we can delete the fb_blank code
from core and drivers and rely on the state field.
