Series drm/kms: Stop registering multiple /sys/class/backlight devs for a single display | expand

On x86/ACPI boards the acpi_video driver will usually initialize before
the kms driver (except i915). This causes /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
to show up and then the kms driver registers its own native backlight
device after which the drivers/acpi/video_detect.c code unregisters
the acpi_video0 device (when acpi_video_get_backlight_type()==native).

This means that userspace briefly sees 2 devices and the disappearing of
acpi_video0 after a brief time confuses the systemd backlight level
save/restore code, see e.g.:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269920

To fix this make backlight class device registration a separate step
done by a new acpi_video_register_backlight() function. The intend is for
this to be called by the drm/kms driver *after* it is done setting up its
own native backlight device. So that acpi_video_get_backlight_type() knows
if a native backlight will be available or not at acpi_video backlight
registration time, avoiding the add + remove dance.

Note the new acpi_video_register_backlight() function is also called from
a delayed work to ensure that the acpi_video backlight devices does get
registered if necessary even if there is no drm/kms driver or when it is
disabled.

Changes in v2:
- Make register_backlight_delay a module parameter, mainly so that it can
  be disabled by Nvidia binary driver users
