ACPI video: Don't export sysfs backlight interface if query _BCL fail
Currently the acpi video module export the backlight interface to sysfs
also if acpi_video_device_lcd_query_levels() fails to read _BLC method
(e.g. because the method is not available). In this case the userspace
don't know which brightness level are supported and can't set a brightness
level (echo return with: "write error: Invalid Argument"). This happend
e.g. on a ASUS RF1 (correct supported by the asus-laptop module).
The video module should not export the backlight interface if query _BLC fail,
because you can't set anything from userspace and this make it useless.
