leds: trigger: ledtrig-backlight: Fix invalid memory access in fb_event notification callback
fb_notifier_callback is called on any event fired by
fb_notifier_call_chain. Events may, or may not contain some data
(fb_event.data). In case of FB_EVENT_BLANK fb_event.data contains a
pointer to an integer holdingthe blank state. The Problem is, that in
ledtrig-backlight.c - fb_notifier_callback the pointer to blank state
is dereferenced BEFORE the event-type is checked.
Obviously this leads to problems with other events than FB_EVENT_BLANK,
where fb_event.data is undefined or NULL. It seems, that this problem
existed ever since the driver was added.
Like in drivers/video/backlight/backlight.c line 43 I would suggest to
return immediately on events other than FB_EVENT_BLANK.
