backlight: update backlight status when necessary
We don't have to update a backlight status every time a blanking or unblanking event comes because the backlight status may have already been what we want. Another thought is that one backlight device may be shared by multiple framebuffers. We don't hope blanking one of the framebuffers may turn the backlight off for all the other framebuffers, since they are likely being active to display something. This patch makes the backlight status be updated only when the relevant backlight device's use count changes from zero to one or from one to zero.
