Add a trigger to control keyboard backlight LED devices. Note that in
some cases the keyboard backlight control is hardwired (taken care of
in firmware outside of the kernels control), in that case this triggers
main purpose is to allow userspace to monitor these changes.
The ledtrig_kbd_backlight function has a set_brightness parameter to
differentiate between full backlight control through the trigger
(set_brightness set to true) or change notification only (false).
Note the Kconfig option for this is a bool because the code is so
small that it is not worth the overhead of being a module.
