ACPI / video: Quirk initial backlight level 0
Some firmware doesn't initialize initial backlight level to a proper value and _BQC will return 0 on first time evaluation. We used to be able to detect such incorrect value with our code logic, as value 0 normally isn't a valid value in _BCL. But with the introduction of Win8, firmware begins to fill _BCL with values from 0 to 100, now 0 becomes a valid value but that value will make user's screen black. This patch test initial _BQC for value 0, if such a value is returned, do not use it.
