leds: backlight trigger: Replace fb events with a dedicated function call

Remove support for fb events from the led backlight trigger. Provide
the helper ledtrig_backlight_blank() instead. Call it from fbdev to
inform the trigger of changes to a display's blank state.

Fbdev maintains a list of all installed notifiers. Instead of the fbdev
notifiers, maintain an internal list of led backlight triggers.

v3:
- export ledtrig_backlight_blank()
v2:
- maintain global list of led backlight triggers (Lee)
- avoid IS_REACHABLE() in source file (Lee)
- notify on changes to blank state instead of display state
- use lock guards
- initialize led list and list mutex
