drm/i915: Fix blank panel at reopening lid
changed the register write sequence for restoring the backlight, which
helped prevent non-working backlights on some machines. Turns out that
the original sequence was the right thing to do for a different set of
machines. Worse, setting the backlight level _after_ enabling it seems
to reset it somehow. So we need to make that one conditional upon the
backlight having been reset to zero, and add the old one back.
Cargo-culting at it's best, but it seems to work.
