The commit 47356eb67285014527a5ab87543ba1fae3d1e10a introduced a
mechanism to record the backlight level only at disabling time, but it
also introduced a regression. Since intel_lvds_enable() may be called
without disabling (e.g. intel_lvds_commit() calls it unconditionally),
the backlight gets back to the last recorded value. For example, this
happens when you dim the backlight, close the lid and open the lid,
then the backlight suddenly goes to the brightest.
This patch fixes the bug by recording the backlight level always
when changed but only when dev_priv->backlight_enabled is set.
In this way, the bogus value for disabling backlight can be skipped.

Feel free to add Cc to stable kernel, as this is a regression fix.
I've tested only a few machines here so more tests would be
appreciated, because the backlight issue is SOOO sensitive :)
