backlight: Match backlight device against struct fb_info.bl_dev

Framebuffer drivers for devices with dedicated backlight are supposed
to set struct fb_info.bl_dev to the backlight's respective device. Use
the value to match backlight and framebuffer in the backlight core code.

The code first tests against struct backlight_ops.check_ops. If this
test succeeds, it performs the test against fbdev. So backlight drivers
can override the later test as before.

Fbdev's backlight support depends on CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT. To avoid
ifdef in the code, the new helper fb_bl_device() returns the backlight
device, or NULL if the config option has been disabled. The test in
the backlight code will then do nothing.

v4:
* declare empty fb_bl_device() as static inline
* export fb_bl_device()
v3:
* hide ifdef in fb_bl_device() (Lee)
* no if-else blocks (Andy)

fbdev/core: Move framebuffer and backlight helpers into separate files

Move framebuffer and backlight helpers into separate files. Leave
fbsysfs.c to sysfs-related code. No functional changes.

The framebuffer helpers are not in fbmem.c because they are under
GPL-2.0-or-later copyright, while fbmem.c is GPL-2.0.

v2:
* include <linux/mutex.h> (Sam)
