Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device to struct

One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be
renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed to
lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see a
way around this.

[I've applied this patch to the backlight for-mm branch for testing but
will work in any feedback]
