Remove support for fb events from backlight subsystem. Provide the
helper backlight_notify_blank_all() instead. Also export the existing
helper backlight_notify_blank() to update a single backlight device.
In fbdev, call either helper to inform the backlight subsystem of
changes to a display's blank state. If the framebuffer device has a
specific backlight, only update this one; otherwise update all.
v3:
- declare empty fb_bl_notify_blank() as static inline (kernel test robot)
Looks like there are still configs where we get build failure.

Other than the build issues, generally this looks great. Just a couple
of small issues below.

Should this be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()?
The other symbols in this source file are exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL().
