Richard Purdie 28ee086d5b backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.

backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.

Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.

Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

/* Notes on locking:
*
* lcd_device->sem is an internal backlight lock protecting the props
* field and no code outside the core should need to touch it.
*
* Access to set_power() is serialised by the update_lock mutex since
* most drivers seem to need this and historically get it wrong.
*
* Most drivers don't need locking on their get_power() method.
* If yours does, you need to implement it in the driver. You can use the
* update_lock mutex if appropriate.
*
* Any other use of the locks below is probably wrong.
