ACPI fix for 3.11-rc7

- Revert a change in the ACPI video driver that caused the ACPI
   backlight initialization to be carried out even if acpi_backlight=vendor
   is passed in the kernel command line which turns out to break things
   at least on one system.

Pull ACPI fix from Rafael Wysocki:
 "I really hoped that it wouldn't be necessary to change anything in
  ACPI at this point, but it turns out that we need to revert one more
  ACPI video commit causing trouble.

  This reverts a change in the ACPI video driver that caused the ACPI
  backlight initialization to be carried out even if acpi_backlight=vendor
  is passed in the kernel command line which turns out to break things
  at least on one system"
