backlight: Add Nvidia-based Apple Macbook Pro backlight driver

Nvidia-based Apple Macbook Pros don't appear to handle backlight control
through the graphics card registers or ACPI, but instead trigger changes
via SMI calls. This driver registers a generic backlight device that
lets existing userspace deal with it. Code derived from Julien Blache's
Pommed application.
