backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.
backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.
Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.
Also update the lcd class in a similar way.
