backlight_properties.fb_blank is deprecated. The states it represents
are handled by other properties; but instead of accessing those
properties directly, drivers should use the helpers provided by
backlight.h.

Instead of retrieving the backlight brightness in struct
backlight_properties manually, and then checking whether the backlight
should be on at all, use backlight_get_brightness() which does all
this and insulates this from future changes.

This means that BL_CORE_SUSPENDED is now taken into account, as it
should be.

Thank you Stephen (and Sam), looks good!
