[PATCH] powermac: Combined fixes for backlight code

This patch fixes several problems:
- pmac_backlight_key() is called under interrupt context, and therefore
  can't use mutexes or semaphores, so defer the backlight level for
  later, as it's not critical (original code by Aristeu S. Rozanski F.
  <aris@valeta.org>).
- Add exports for functions that might be called from modules
- Fix Kconfig depdencies on PMAC_BACKLIGHT.
- Fix locking issues on calls from inside the driver (reported by
  Aristeu S. Rozanski F., too)
- Fix wrong calculation of backlight values in some of the drivers
- Replace pmac_backlight_key_up/down by inline functions
