Subject: ACPI: ibm-acpi: fix initial status of backlight device

The brightness class core does not update the initial status of
the device's brightness at register time.  Do it by ourselves
before we register the class device.

NOTE: This patch needs an ACK from Richard Purdie before it can be merged,
as he might want to change the backlight class code instead.
