Remove excessive numbers of (un)likely()s in the backlight core.

There are no hot paths in this code so rely on compiler to do
the right thing.

The backlight layer should be independent from the framebuffer layer.  It
can use the services offered by the framebuffer, but its absence should not
prevent the backlight/lcd layer from functioning.

The backlight and LCD class _store functions currently accept values like "34
some random strings" without error.  This corrects them to return -EINVAL if
the value is not numeric with an optional byte of trailing whitespace.

A bunch of asm/bug.h includes are both not needed (since it will get
pulled anyway) and bogus (since they are done too early).  Removed.

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h.  The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.

A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.

There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
