There are several cases where events handled in one of the dell-* drivers
need to be propagated to another dell-* driver.
This commits add 3 generic functions:
dell_laptop_register_notifier()
dell_laptop_unregister_notifier()
dell_laptop_call_notifier()
It currently only defines 1 action:
dell_laptop_kbd_backlight_brightness_changed
Which is intended to propagate kbd_backlight_brightness_changed wmi
events from dell-wmi to dell-laptop (which contains the actual kbd
backlight driver).
These functions are put in dell-smbios as both dell-wmi and dell-laptop
use smbios functions and I do not want to put the notifier head in
either driver, as that will make the 2 drivers depend on each other.
